question #3 Sahih al-Bukhari 2648, Book 52, Hadith 12 : What role does forgiveness and rehabilitation play in the life of a person who has committed a crime in Islam?

A woman committed theft in the Ghazwa of the Conquest (of Mecca) and she was taken to the
Prophet who ordered her hand to be cut off. `Aisha said, “Her repentance was perfect and she was
married (later) and used to come to me (after that) and I would present her needs to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ).”
