STEALING ELECTRICITY FROM THE STATE IF THE STATE DOES NOT GIVE CITIZENS THEIR BASIC RIGHTS IN ALL THINGS
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a. 24th day of Dhul-Hijjah, 1444AH (Wednesday, 12th July, 2023). *_STEALING ELECTRICITY FROM THE STATE IF THE STATE DOES NOT GIVE CITIZENS THEIR BASIC RIGHTS IN ALL THINGS_* BismilLaah.
Please note that, It is not permissible to steal electricity from the state, whether that is done by tinkering with the electricity meter, or by using tricks to avoid paying bills, or by any other means, because that involves cheating, deceiving and consuming people’s wealth unlawfully.
The fact that the state does not give the citizens their rights does not make it permissible to steal from the public wealth. These resources, such as electricity and other things, belong to the state as a whole, so stealing from them is a transgression against the public wealth, not only against the government and its employees.
ALLAH says:
“O you who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves unjustly except it be a trade amongst you, by mutual consent. And do not kill yourselves (nor kill one another). Surely, ALLAH is Most Merciful to you”[al-Nisa’ 4:58]. “Verily, ALLAH commands that you should render back the trusts to those, to whom they are due”[al-Nisa’ 4:29]. ALLAH knows best.
*_We ask ALLAH to keep guiding our eemaan and protect us from any satanic influences_*. Aameen.
