How can I convince my husband that his repeated actions of taking others' property without right, under the pretext of being swindled or punishing shops, are theft and forbidden in Islam?

The respondent expressed surprise at the husband's actions, describing him as a committed person while he was engaging in the forbidden act of theft. He emphasized that theft is forbidden by explicit texts from the Quran and Sunnah, citing the verse about cutting off the hand of a thief, the prohibition of consuming wealth unjustly, and the sacredness of Muslims' wealth and honor, adding that whoever is killed defending his property is a martyr.

He clarified that the husband's claim that theft is permissible because he was "deceived" is a deception from Satan. Harām (forbidden) cannot be met with harām. The seller has the right to determine the price of his goods; if the husband does not like the price, he should go elsewhere, not loot the store. He stressed that punishing the store by stealing 900 dollars is also harām, and that it is impermissible for a person to take more than his due, even if he has been wronged.

He advised the questioner to remind her husband of the transient nature of this world and the accountability before Allah for one's deeds, and that theft brings disgrace in this world and the Hereafter, citing a warning hadith about carrying stolen goods on the Day of Judgment.
