Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the difference between usurpation and theft?
Answer:
Usurpation is taking a person's property by force, while theft is taking property secretly. Theft from the easterners is taking property secretly while the owner feels safe from it; his property is stored and secured, and someone comes and breaks into the storage to take it secretly. This is theft. As for usurpation, it is not done secretly, but openly, by exercising authority over another person's property and preventing him from disposing of it. Yes.
