Is it permissible to use household items found in a place one has been displaced to, such as clothes, without the owners' knowledge, due to lack of money and goods?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The basic principle is that it is not permissible to use the clothes of others without their permission, except in cases of extreme necessity, such as intense heat or severe cold. In such situations, a person in dire need may benefit from the possessions of others if the owner does not have an immediate need for them. It is not permissible to compel the owner of a garment to give it for covering one's nakedness for prayer. However, it is permissible to compel them if one fears heat or cold, provided the owner does not have an immediate need for it.
