well islamic law is not found in one book and different ideas about islamic law are found in different muslim regions
Answer 2Islamic law is based on Quran as well as prophet Muhammad (peace be upon) teachings. All terms of the Islamic law pertaining Quran teachings remain the same at no changes as that relevant to ritual worships, marriage/divorce, inheritance rules, penalties, ... etc. However, that pertaining prophet Muhammad teachings varies by variations of different schools interpreting the prophet sayings and practices based on the specific conditions at that time.
Regarding the penalties, there are strict conditions that should fulfiiled before applying it. For example, to cut the palms of the one who commits robbery; he/she should not be in need for food/drink to live, the robbed item should be protected from theft, he/she (or trusted witnesses) should admit that he/she committed the theft. Generally Islamic law regarding penalties couldn't be applied straight forward nowadays as before.

What is the possible reason that opinion and writings about Islamic law have changed over century?
Most of the Islamic law - the "Sharia" has remained the same since Moses received the commandments. They are the same writing as Christians have in the Old Testament. However, the interpretation of these laws, has with the Muslims as with the Christians been a topic of interpretation, discussions, reading and studying to make the laws applicable in the situations as they change over time. Muslims have fostered learned mullahs and scholars, who has formed "schools" of thought, gained followers - and like Christians, waged war to claim the exclusive right to their interpretation. The power these have obtained has formed the basis for further studies because things change over time. Well, the Holy Book has remained the same, be that the Old Testament or the same in the Koran. But the people that read the Book have changed.
