Question:
What is the ruling on smuggling, which is a type of trade involving items that the state has prohibited, for example, which are not forbidden by the Shari'ah, such as sugar and flour? We have asked about these topics. May Allah reward you with good?
Answer:
The Muslim is required to be honest in his dealings and to comply with the regulations established by the state, because if he violates them, he exposes himself to punishment, penalty, and risk. Therefore, we advise honesty in transactions and following methods that involve no risk and do not expose oneself to punishment or violation. This is what we advise.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
