The answer

It is not permissible to take a Muslim's money without his willing consent, due to the Almighty's saying: "O you who have believed, do not consume one another's property unlawfully but [only] that your consuming be [involving] trade [carried out] by mutual consent from among you." And due to the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "The property of a Muslim is not lawful except with his willing consent," and "The whole of a Muslim is inviolable for another Muslim: his blood, his property, and his honor." Whoever unlawfully seizes a Muslim's property will meet Allah while He is angry with him. Therefore, the money must be returned to its owner, and one must seek forgiveness.
