Stealing From The Rich Allowed In Islam (Example Of Caliph Umar (rta))
The friend mentioned Hazrat Umar ibn Al Khattab’s saying: “The hand of the thief is not cut who steals a bundle of dates or in a year of famine” and a hadith narrated from Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq: “In the time of famine and drought the hands of a thief are not cut off for stealing edible items like bread and meat etc.”
