Note 4

No amputation, etc.

(4) The statement: No amputation, etc.: Ibn al-Humam said: If one spouse steals from the other, or a slave from his master or master’s wife, there is no amputation, as customary permission to enter disrupts security. (As in Al-Mirqat)

قوله

(٤) قوله: لا قطع عليه إلخ: قال ابن الهمام: وإذا سرق أحدُ الزوجين من مال الآخر أو العبد من سيده أو زوج سيدتهلم يقطع؛ لوجود الإذن في الدخول عادة فاختلّ الحرز. كذا في (المرقاة).
