Summary
Buying goods that one knows to be stolen is forbidden and sinful. A buyer who knows the goods are stolen is regarded as an accomplice who shares in the sin of the theft, based on a hadith reported by al-Baihaqi. The sale contract is also void and invalid because the seller does not own the goods. The ruling also advises that hobbies should be beneficial, within one's means and accompanied by piety.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
