Authors : Muhammad Gabr Al-said Abdu-allah Gameel .

Abstract

The study aimed at evaluating the penalty of theft offence according to Egyptian and Algerian Criminal law in the light of Islamic Law (Shari'a). The study used the descriptive methodology to reach the targets in question. To gather the required data, a review of literature was administered. The study came to the conclusions that: first. Islamic Law (Shari'a) imposes the hand-cut off penalty for theft crime; second, the Egyptian and Algerian Criminal law impose imprisonment and fine penalty for the convicted of theft offence and this contradicts with what Islamic Law (Shari'a) necessitates. The study recommended that the Egyptian and the Algerian Criminal law ought to adopt the hand-cut off penalty for theft crime in response to what Islamic Law (Shari'a) requires.
