Hitting a person who was caught stealing
Question
If a person is caught stealing is it permissible to hit the person as a form of punishment as our legal system in SA is not the greatest.
Answer
Don’t get into any type of legal implications.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
