Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih al-Bukhari 6676, 6677 specific to the Muslim, or does it include the dhimmi (a non-Muslim under Muslim protection), the mu'ahad (a non-Muslim under a treaty), and the musta'min (a non-Muslim granted safe conduct)?
Answer:
It concerns the wealth of another person; it includes the wealth of another person, whether Muslim or non-Muslim. However, regarding the Muslim, in light of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan ad-Daraqutni 13:78 As for the wealth of a disbeliever, it becomes lawful through jihad, war spoils, and fay' (booty). As for the wealth of a Muslim, it is not lawful under any circumstances.
This is the perspective, and Allah knows best, that the Messenger said “the wealth of a Muslim man” because the wealth of a Muslim is not lawful under any circumstances except by his own willing consent.
Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:282] [An-Nisa 4:29] And Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Baqarah 2:188] Yes.

لا يحل مال امرئ مسلم إلا بطيبة من نفسهThis is the perspective, and Allah knows best, that the Messenger said “the wealth of a Muslim man” because the wealth of a Muslim is not lawful under any circumstances except by his own willing consent.
Allah the Exalted said:
except when it is
إِلَّا أَن تَكُونَ تِجَارَةًO you who have believed, do not consume one another's wealth unjustly but only [in lawful] business by mutual consent
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَأْكُلُوا أَمْوَالَكُم بَيْنَكُم بِالْبَاطِلِ إِلَّا أَن تَكُونَ تِجَارَةً عَن تَرَاضٍ مِّنكُمْAnd do not consume one another's wealth unjustly
وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا أَمْوَالَكُم بَيْنَكُم بِالْبَاطِلِ
