The answer

The religious texts have indicated the sanctity of a Muslim's wealth and the impermissibility of taking it without their permission. Allah Almighty has forbidden consuming wealth unjustly, saying: "And do not consume your properties among yourselves wrongfully." He also forbade treachery, saying: "O you who have believed, do not betray Allah and the Messenger or betray your trusts while you know [the consequence]." Muslim narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Every Muslim's blood, wealth, and honor are sacred to another Muslim."
