(26) Chapter: Unlawfulness of Oppression and Restoring Others Rights

Khaulah bint 'Thamir (May Allah bepleased with her) reported: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Many people misappropriate (acquire wrongfully) Allah's Property (meaning Muslims' property). These people will be cast in Hell on the Day of Resurrection". [Al- Bukhari]. Commentary: Misappropriation in national exchequer and its use for vested rather than public interest is a major sin which is punishable, if the delinquent does not sincerely beg pardon for it.
