The Shaykh : What is your opinion on smuggling between one country and another, given that the route is safe in terms of life but not safe in terms of money? Is it forbidden or not?
What is your opinion on the hadith of the snow from the hadith of Zayd ibn Anas, which means that one of them ate snow in Ramadan and said it was not food or drink, so he went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him of this, and he said, "Take it from your uncle"? Is this hadith authentic, and did the two Shaykhs narrate it?
This hadith is denounced, and the two Shaykhs did not narrate it at all. Rather, it is a fabrication by al-Arabi. What is its name? The magazine al-Arabi, and the writer is what? 'Abd al-Kabir?
The questioner : 'Abd al-Warith.
The Shaykh : 'Abd al-Warith Kabir. So, in summary, smuggling is... contrary to the Islamic Shari'ah, because in reality, the Islamic land is one land, so it is not supposed to have borders between them, nor is it supposed to have borders between one state or small state and another like it, such as having these borders and these restrictions, including the impermissibility of bringing goods of a certain type to another town. So, this is not present in the original Islamic system. And now that it has been found, my belief is that if smuggling leads to disparaging the Muslim, which leads to disparaging the Islamic Shari'ah, on the basis that this is a system and the system must be preserved, just as we say, "What is necessary for the performance of an obligatory duty is itself obligatory," so we say, "What is necessary for preserving the reputation of Islam is itself obligatory." Therefore, from this perspective, we do not consider smuggling permissible. Why? Because it leads to disparaging Islam, which, as we mentioned, originally has no borders in Islamic lands, no customs, and no taxes!
