It is per God (Allah) explicit command in Quran.

In Quran:

وَالسَّارِقُ وَالسَّارِقَةُ فَاقْطَعُوا أَيْدِيَهُمَا جَزَاءً بِمَا كَسَبَا نَكَالًا مِّنَ اللَّـهِ ۗ وَاللَّـهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ ﴿٣٨﴾

Meaning English translation:

{ [As for] the thief, the male and the female, amputate their hands in recompense for what they committed as a deterrent [punishment] from Allah. And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise. (38)} [Quran, chapter 5, verse 38]

However, there are conditions to apply this punishment on the thief:

  • He/She should admit of the theft, and
  • what is stolen should not be left so carelessly that encourage the theft. For example, a shop left opened and unattended with any guard or security alarm, and/or
  • not to get something to eat/drink to avoid death or starvation.
