Are all types of smuggling haram?

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Smuggling is defined as “the illegal transportation of goods or people, such as out of a building, into a prison, or across an international border, in violation of applicable laws or other regulations”.[1]

In principle, it is prohibited to violate the laws of a country that are not unIslamic.

Accordingly and in general, smuggling is prohibited.[2]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
