What is the ruling on taking something without its owner's permission, knowing that he would allow it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the amount of money is small and people commonly overlook it, and you are reasonably certain that your friend would not mind, then there is no harm in taking it, because customary permission is equivalent to explicit permission. However, if the amount of money is not small, or if there is no kinship or friendship, then explicit permission is necessary.
