Summary
Malik said: the matter among us regarding a slave who steals from his master's goods: if he is not one of the servants and is not trusted with his house, then he enters secretly and steals from his master's goods what requires cutting, the cutting is not due on him. Likewise a slave-girl who steals from her master's goods owes no cutting. 1
