Section 57
Property in different hirz
If sariqah is committed from the same hirz in more than one transaction, or from more than one hirz, and the value of the sariqah property in each case is less than the nisab, it is not sariqah liable to hadd punishment even if the value of the property involved in all cases adds up to or exceeds the nisab.
Illustrations

Such sariqah is liable to hadd punishment even though the value of the property removed from any of the rooms does not amount to the nisab. If the house is occupied by more than one family and the value of all the property removed from the hirz of anyone family is less than the nisab, then such sariqah is not liable to hadd punishment, even though the value of all the properties removed adds up to or exceeds the nisab.
(b)
A enters a house several times to commit sariqah in the house, on each occasion the value of the property removed does not amount to nisab. Such sariqah is not liable to hadd punishment even though the value of all the properties removed adds up to or exceeds the nisab.
