The questioner:
If one shelters a drug smuggler, or shelters an innovator, or a Khariji, or someone wanted by security, does this fall under the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih Muslim 1978b?
The Shaykh:
There is no doubt that it falls under this. These are people who commit crimes and transgress against people, so it is not permissible to shelter them, defend them, or hide them in one’s home, or the like. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Covering for them is not permissible. Yes.
