Touching other people's belongings without their permission
Question
Is touching other people's things (for knowledge purposes only) without asking them a sin?
Answer
If they do not allow you to touch their things, then it is not permissible for you to touch them.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
