Hi All,
For many years I've wonder this question but never had anyone to ask until I found this forum

I had a Muslim brother-in-law for about 8 years although we kept in contact for a number of years after. Anyway, he wasn't a practicing Muslims and he would at times do dubious things, nothing serious tho. He would justify this with his religious beliefs by telling us something along the line of, 'as long as no one knows, then it's fine with Allah'.
Is this a commonly held belief or was this just him?
It would be great to finally solve this mystery
