Ruling on taking something without its owner's permission if he has no need for it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Is it permissible to take something without the owner's knowledge, knowing that the owner is putting it in the trash, meaning that he does not need it?
Answer:
If he intends to keep it in a place where it is stored, it is not permissible without his permission. However, if it is in a place like the garbage, and he has finished with it, does not take it, and has no desire for it, then it is permissible for whoever wants to take it to take it. But if the place is where items are kept, even if there is some laxity in it, but he has not abandoned them and is not willing to part with them, but rather he only puts it there for a certain time, then he must seek his permission and obtain his consent. Yes.
