Buying stolen goods
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: What is the ruling regarding the one who buys stolen goods, knowing they are stolen?
Response:
It is not permissible for the Muslim to buy goods which he knows are stolen; This is haraam, because by doing so he is aiding [and abetting] the thief [in sin and transgression]. Allaah ('Azza wa Jall) says:
{Help you one another in al-Birr and at-Taqwa (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression}, [Soorah al-Maa.idah, Aayah 2]
And will Allaah lies all success.
Muhammed ibn 'Abdillaah as-Subayyal
