Ruling on taking one's right from another person by stealth.

The questioner : The point is that you believe it is established, meaning a right that is firmly yours, where there is a dispute between you and your opponent. Sometimes you may be compelled to take your right.

The Shaykh : By stealth.

The questioner : That you take your right by stealth, is this permissible?

The Shaykh : It is not permissible. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: -And upon you be peace and blessings- So what about one who has not betrayed you? It is even more impermissible for him. -And upon you be peace, welcome - Welcome.

The questioner : If a third person was given a trust, and the trust belongs to me, and the third party, I want my right from the third party. I gave the third party a trust, okay, so that I take this trust from him. I was compelled, for example, to take it by stealth. Is it permissible?

The Shaykh : The causes are many, but death is one.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : That is, no matter how you develop the topic or present multiple examples, the important thing is that you want to reach your right by an un-Islamic means, which is not permissible.
