Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if several people together break into a house to steal property, and they collectively carry away a box, wood, or jewelry, and its value reaches a quarter of a dinar, then the hands of all of them will be cut off. If each of them takes separate property and leaves, then the hand of the one whose share reaches a quarter of a dinar will be cut off, and the hand of the one whose share is less than that will not be cut off.
