An employer found out that his worker has been stealing money from his business for some time.Though he has not caught him red handed, the overwhelming circumstantial evidences leaves no doubt at all about the thefts.However the worker stubbornly refused to admit his wrongdoing.What is the Islam ruling if the employer straightaway cut the wages of the worker to cover his loss due to the theft as it would not be worth the trouble to bring the case to the court ?

Is it justified to steal from a thief?
I attended an eight week course (once a week) on "Thinking About Thinking" this last year. We learned about Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Japanese culture, Islamic culture. etc. According to the prof it is in Islamic culture. Not only justified but the right thing to do.
As a side note he ended up the eighth week talking about Heisenberg and uncertainty, the fact that Aristotle and Plato thought they had it all figures out with atoms (can't split atoms) and now we have electrons, protons, quarks, and more, He did it in an unusually funny way. After the class was over I introduced myself as a retired college chemistry prof and that I wished I could have been that amusing when I lectured. He said, "How interesting. I was a chemistry major in college too and I took organic as a junior and struggled daily throughout the course. But I passed it. Then I got the calling to be a preacher." Then the line that broke me up. "I just wish God had called be BEFORE I took organic chemistry rather than after."
