Abstract

This study analyzes the law of hand amputation (ḥadd al-sariqah) from the perspectives of fiqh jinayah and modern social theory. Using a qualitative library research approach, the study examines classical Islamic legal sources and contemporary sociological theories to explore the meaning, conditions, and relevance of this law in modern contexts. The findings reveal that ḥadd al-sariqah functions not merely as a physical punishment but as a mechanism of social justice aimed at protecting property and maintaining public order. Through dialogue between Islamic jurisprudence and modern theories of Durkheim, Foucault, and Satjipto Rahardjo, this research concludes that ḥadd al-sariqah can be reformulated contextually through ta‘zīr and maqāṣid al-sharīʿah principles to align with universal values of justice and human dignity.
