موطا امام مالك رواية يحييٰ
Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب السرقةBook: On the Explanation of Theft
بَابُ مَا لَا قَطْعَ فِيهِCases where there is no amputation
Hadith 1577B5
قَالَ مَالِكٌ : الْأَمْرُ الْمُجْتَمَعُ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَنَا فِي السَّارِقِ يُوجَدُ فِي الْبَيْتِ قَدْ جَمَعَ الْمَتَاعَ وَلَمْ يَخْرُجْ بِهِ : إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ قَطْعٌ وَإِنَّمَا مَثَلُ ذَلِكَ. كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ وَضَعَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ خَمْرًا لِيَشْرَبَهَا. فَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ. فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ حَدٌّ. وَمَثَلُ ذَلِكَ رَجُلٌ جَلَسَ مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ مَجْلِسًا وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُصِيبَهَا حَرَامًا. فَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ. وَلَمْ يَبْلُغْ ذَلِكَ مِنْهَا. فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ أَيْضًا فِي ذَلِكَ حَدٌّ. ¤
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: In our view, the ruling is agreed upon that if a thief enters a house and gathers belongings but does not take them out, then the punishment of amputation is not applied to him. Its example is like a person who is presented with wine to drink, but he does not drink it, so the prescribed punishment is not applied to him. And another example is that a person sits with a woman for the purpose of intercourse, but then does not have intercourse with her, meaning he does not insert his organ into her private part, so the prescribed punishment is not applied to him.
