I read that the punishment for stealing i.e amputation was only to be gone ahead if the thing that was stolen was worth a quarter of a dinar.
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 81, Number 780:
Narrated 'Aisha:
The Prophet said, "The hand should be cut off for stealing something that is worth a quarter of a Dinar or more."
[Sahih Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 81, Number 780]
How much worth was the dinar during the time of Muhammad and how much would half of it be?
Also how about today, what would the dinar/quarter of a dinar be of worth today?
