Is it stealing to get tv service & not pay?
Question
My friend can connect me to get sattelite & cable tv without subcribimg. Is this stealing? He says tv is haraam anyway.
Answer
Your friend should be reminded of the common phrase, "two wrongs don't make a right". Nevertheless, it is also haraam (strictly prohibited) to steal anything that is haraam. Surely your friend will not steal alcohol and drink it.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
