Those who suppress this feeling that has been placed in them as a test, and do not get involved in crime, are deemed to be good people by society. Those who succumb to their bad feelings and commit crimes are bad people. Those who admit their mistake and confess their guilt with remorse benefit from amnesty or reduction in punishment.

Of these four are sacred. That is the correct law of Allāh. So do not wrong yourselves during these months.”

In fiqh, a person’s belongings are their movable and immovable property, money they are owed, things that a person can legitimately benefit from, such as a house or shop they rent, and nominal values which are not visible in sight such as their honour and dignity.
