One who deems the wealth of Muslims lawful: does he become a disbeliever?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We have established that if one deems their blood lawful while believing them to be Muslims, he becomes a disbeliever. So how much more so if he deems their wealth lawful and believes it to be permissible?
The Shaykh : No, one who deems their wealth lawful through deception does not become a disbeliever, because this transaction is merely a deception. But if he says that what Allah has forbidden from the wealth of Muslims is permissible, he has denied Allah and His Messenger, and thus he becomes a disbeliever.
