Owning a gun
Question
Is it permissible to own a gun?
Answer
Yes, provided you can look after it properly and take full responsibility without misusing it and you are not impulsive, that you just respond on impulse and emotions, and you are concerned about the consequences.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
