Is there anything moral to do that is illegal?

Answer 1

By moral, usually the thing is 'good' and would therefore never be illegal. The exception here lies within what society believes to be good. This varies with societies, countries, religions, etc.

BUT! here is a real live example of something very simple that IS moral and illegal at the same time (and this may be very far fetched but I'm trying to think of an example for you). Ok so you see an old lady fall to the floor while you are driving your car in a parking lot where it is marked NO PARKING OR STOPPING. You park, get out, help her up and to her car or whatever. Since the city placed a sign to show a law, and you broke that law, you performed an illegal action. However, you did a moral deed by helping the lady. Nevertheless, these actions are related, not one in the same.

If you mean is the exact same action itself both moral AND illegal, then I revert back to my initial answer... not unless your government/etc is very different from normal. It is technically moral to believe in God and to practice your religion in virtually every country. However, for example, in Iran, the members of the Baha'i Faith (the largest religious minority and the second most widespread religion in the world) are systematically persecuted by their government. They are expelled from universities, have their possessions confiscated, are kept tabs on, have their business licenses revoked, pretty much are 'illegal.' Since the Iranian government is non-secular, they use the their fear of the peaceful Baha'i religion and make it virtually illegal.

Answer 2

Some may argue that civil disobedience—peacefully engaging in protests or other actions to challenge unjust laws or policies—is a moral act even if it is illegal. This is based on the belief that individuals have a moral obligation to resist unjust laws and work towards a more just society.
