Is It Permitted to Rob Jewish Banks for Jihad?
(FrontPageMagazine-IslamOnline) - Q: What is the legal ruling on a Muslim robbing Jewish banks to help the Muslim fighters? A: Sheikh Faysal Mawlawi, Deputy Chairman of the European Council for Fatwa and Research: This may be lawful when there is a war ongoing between Muslims and non-Muslims. Since Muslims are considered to be at war only with Israel, this does not apply to other countries of the world; it is not lawful for them to rob banks in any country other than Israel even if the owners of these banks are Jewish or American. However, some scholars have a reservation about robbing the Jewish banks within occupied Palestine, for there are more than a million Muslims there who deal with these banks.
