Question

I enhanced a software related to point of sale. The owner sells it in UAE and I live in Pakistan. Can I sell the software in Pakistan without the owner's permission?

Answer

Once you purchase it, it becomes yours. You may then do whatever you wish to do with it.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Ask Mufti Online

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
