Opening a neighbor's door without his permission

Q: If an object or a child is inside a neighbor's property which contains things they no longer use, is it permissible to enter to save the child especially that no one lives in this apartment (Part No. 26; Page No. 101) and its owner lives far away?


A: If the matter is as you have described, it is permissible to open the door, if the child cannot get out by any other means, without even taking the permission of the owner in order to save the child. However, it is best to be accompanied by a trustworthy person to avoid suspicion and keep the house safe.The same applies if the thing inside is valuable, otherwise it should be left until taking the owner's permission.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
