The first question of Fatwa No. ( 6522 )
Q1: What is the ruling on a stolen sheep if it is slaughtered?
A1: First: Theft is forbidden; as Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:188] and as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih al-Bukhari 1739 This hadith is agreed upon as authentic. Second: It may be eaten if it is slaughtered according to the Shari'ah, and the thief must compensate its owner for its value, repent to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and seek His forgiveness. The thief may not benefit from it in any way; rather, he must give it in charity to the poor and needy prisoners.
Q1: What is the ruling on a stolen sheep if it is slaughtered?
A1: First: Theft is forbidden; as Allah the Exalted said:
And do not consume one another's wealth unjustly
وَلاَ تَأْكُلُوا أَمْوَالَكُمْ بَيْنَكُمْ بِالْبَاطِلِYour blood, your properties, and your honor are sacred to one another
إن دماءكم وأموالكم وأعراضكم عليكم حرام..
