Must the property of a woman or a non-Muslim subject (dhimmi) who commits misappropriation be burned?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Jihad
Primary text
The property of a woman or a non-Muslim subject who commits misappropriation shall be burned because they are accountable for punishment. This is evidenced by the fact that their hands are cut off for theft, and they are subjected to fixed punishments (hudud) for fornication and other offenses.
