How do you know he doesn't mean cutting the causes compelling the thief to steal? Like poverty, lack of education?Union you are actually directly furthering my argument, Allah SWT uses the word literally in the aforementioned ayaat about the thief, and in other circumstances uses a dfferent grammatical metaphoric word for the same word would make sense 'cutting off relationship'. This is common sense yo ucan't literally cut a relationship
And why didn't Prophet Joseph cut the hands of the thief in that story in the Qu'ran?
