It is not permissible to hack the websites of disbelievers merely because they are disbelievers, unless those websites are fighting Islam or slandering its sanctities. In such cases, it is permissible, rather obligatory [to hack them]. It is also not permissible to steal the money of disbelievers merely because of their disbelief. Whoever does so must repent and return the money to its owners, or spend it on general Muslim welfare if returning it is impossible.
