The Ruling on Stealing from a Non-Muslim Who Has a Treaty or Is in a State of War

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible to steal from a disbeliever?

Answer:
No, the covenanting disbeliever is respected; his wealth is respected, just like the wealth of a Muslim. It is not permissible to encroach upon him. As for the hostile disbeliever, his blood and wealth are permissible to take; the hostile disbeliever’s blood and wealth are permissible. As for the one granted safe conduct, the covenanting disbeliever, and the protected non-Muslim, these are under the protection of the Muslims. It is not permissible to encroach upon their blood, nor to encroach upon their wealth, nor to encroach upon their honor. They have what Muslims have, and they are bound by what Muslims are bound by, fulfilling the secret returned.
Whoever kills a covenanting disbeliever will not find any good in Paradise. This is not permissible. It is not permissible to encroach upon the covenanting disbelievers, the ones granted safe conduct, or the emigrants with whom we have a truce. This is not permissible. This applies only to the hostile disbelievers, of course. Yes.
