Hands Amputation Penalty For Minor Thefts
Ghamidi Sahab has a complete epistemology on how to approach Quran and how to understand Hadith. Quran being Mizan gives us principles and once those principles are established then all Ahadith will be understood in the light of those principles enumerated by Quran. Therefore, when pointing out a contradiction in Ghamidi Sahab’s stance, first it needs to be established that his understanding of Quran is wrong because ahadith are not a source of any law, instead they are an application of laws contained in Quran and Sunnah.

Secondly, Ahadith should never be studied in isolation, there is a complete science on how to understand ahadith and one of the principles invlove studying all the variants of one particular hadith and all the relavant ahadith on one particuler topic in order to get the holistic picture as far as topic under discussion is concerned. ( Please also see : Discussion 56230 ) As far as the hadith posted in the question is concerned, it needs to remain clear that this fact that punishment of theft will not be implemented on minor items was so clear that one of the narrators ‘ Amash ‘ himself clarified that ‘ Baida ‘ and ‘ rope ‘ here do not refer to regular minor items. Even if the statement of ‘ Amash ‘ were to be ignored, then the wordings of hadith are condemnation of the act of theft which starts from a minor thing and ultimately leads to a major theft which eventually results in this punihsment. Also, there are plenty of other ahadith which point to this fact that punihsmnent of theft will not be given to minor thefts, just to mention a few: https://sunnah.com/ibnmajah:2585 https://sunnah.com/ibnmajah:2586 https://sunnah.com/bukhari:6793 https://sunnah.com/nasai:4915
