Is It Permissible To Use Pirated(cracked) Copy Of A Software by Nobody: 9:40am On Jun 22, 2018
The permanent committee for academic research and legal rulings of Saudi Arabia replies:

It is not permissible to (use) pirated applications that the owners have preserved its copyright without their permission because of the saying of the prophet sallallaahu alayhi was sallam: The Muslims are bound by their conditions and his saying: A Muslim man's property is not permissible except with his pleasure and his saying "whoever is the first to get to a permissible thing then he is more entitled to it". It doesn't make any difference if the owner of the application is a Muslim or a kaafir, except a property gotten from war(war booty), his property is respected like that of a Muslim.

And Allaah knows best.

Fatwa number: 18453

The scholars present at the seat when this fatwa was passed are:

Shaykh Abdulazeez ibn baaz rahimahullaah(the former mufti of Saudi Arabia and the then head of the seat)

Shaykh Abdulazeez Aal shaykh(current mufti of Saudi Arabia and presently the head of the seat but was the assistant head of the seat as at when this fatwa was passed) hafidhohullaah

Shaykh saalih al-fawzaan hafidhohullaah

Shaykh Bakr ibn Abdullaahi Abu zayd rahimahullaah.

Although some scholars say, if you need it for something important and you can't afford it or its not present in your environment then you can use it as far as you are not using it to make money, like selling the pirated copy to others. But that is done at the level of need, you don't go beyond what you need at that time.
