1419. 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever is killed over his wealth, then he is a martyr." (Ṣaḥīh)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from 'Alī, Sa'eed bin Zaid, Abū Hurairah, Ibn 'Umar, Ibn 'Abbās, and Jābir.
[Abū 'Eisā said:] The Hadīth of 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr is a Hasan Hadīth, and it has been reported from him through other routes. Some of the people of knowledge have made an exception in cases where a man kills to protect himself and his wealth. Ibn Al-Mubārak said that he may kill to
defend his wealth, even if it is only two Dirham.

Commentary
The religion of Islam gives extreme importance to the Muslim's faith, life, honor, and property. No one is allowed to rob or steal the property of others. Defending one's property is the duty of every Muslim, and according to most of the scholars, every Muslim has the right to defend his life and property even if he has to fight for it and kill the robber.
