The Prophet said: ‘Whoever is killed while defending his property is a martyr.’ This is also reported from ʿAlī, Saʿīd ibn Zayd, Abū Hurayrah, Ibn ʿUmar, Ibn ʿAbbās, and Jābir. The report from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr is ḥasan and is narrated through more than one route. Some scholars permitted a person to fight in defense of himself and his property. Ibn al-Mubārak said he may fight to defend even two dirhams.
