When a guest committed theft from the house of his host he shall be liable to_________________?

Correct answer: A. Tazir

  • A. Tazir
  • B. Hadd
  • C. Both A and B
  • D. None of above

Explanation

A guest normally has access to the host’s premises, so the required protected custody or hirz for hadd theft is not established in the same way as against an outsider. The guest may therefore face tazir rather than hadd.
