What is the ruling on taking the wealth of governments in disbeliever lands on the pretext that they are lands of war?

Question:
He says: Is there any advice for some of our Muslim brothers who reside in Britain, where they consider the wealth of that state permissible to take by stealing gas, electricity, and other things, on the pretext that it is a land of war, knowing that that state gives them enough money? Is there any advice?

Answer:
This is not permissible. This is not permissible. This is treachery and betrayal, and treachery and betrayal are not permissible, neither with a Muslim nor with a disbeliever. The disbelievers trusted you and allowed you to reside in their lands and gave you shelter. It is not a land of war; it is not a land of war. This is a land of treaty and a land of covenant. You entered them by covenant with them, so you must fulfill it, and their wealth is not lawful for you. You must fulfill the covenants and contracts. The Muslim does not commit treachery or betrayal, because when you entered their lands with their permission and consent, that is a covenant between you and them. This is a contract between you and them. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says: whether with disbelievers or with Muslims.
