Justice Over Mercy
According to Islamic law, theft is punished by imprisonment or amputation of hands or feet. In this case, an 8 year old Iran boy was caught stealing bread from a market and was punished by crushing his hands with a lorry.
My heart goes out to this poor boy.
I wonder what if a non-Islamic tourist goes to Iran and steals something. Will his hands be crushed too?
