Hacking
Question
I am a hacker, but I do not want to use my skills for bad. May I use the remaining unused power of a person's computer (without his permission) to help do some calculations and give half of any profits to charity?
Answer
This is haraam. How can one steal with the intention of giving the stolen wealth in charity. Such charity will be rejected.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
