Abstract
This paper studies jurisprudential discourses on the punishment of theft and their contemporary applications in context of “Kitāb al-Sariqah”from“al-Muḥallā”, a manual of Zahiriteor literalist school of Islamic Jurisprudence by Ibn Ḥazm(994-1064), and “al-Hidāyah”,a manual of Ḥanafī Jurisprudence by al-Marghīnānī(1117-1197).It finds that in a total of eighty-two issues, the two jurists have six commonalities and thirteen differences while Ibn Ḥazm has eight and al-Marghīnānī has thirty-seven unique points. Al-Marghīnānī has more comprehensiveness and diversity in the accounts of the relevant issues.Both jurists’ insights regarding the punishment of theft can be taken as a guide in various matters related to the crime of theft in modern times.
