Entering someone’s house without their permission to take one’s belongings

Answered by 

Shaykh Ebrahim Salejee

Q: A person has possession of some of my belongings. I have brought it to his attention but he denies it completely. I am 100% sure he has it. Will it be permissible for me to enter his premises without his permission and take my belongings away and thereafter let him know that I have taken my items away. Will this entering of his premises be regarded as tresspassing in Islam and will it be infringing on his privacy?

Bismillaah

A: It is permissible.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
