So basically most Muslim scholars say piracy is forbidden cause it’s a form of stealing. The basics argument is taking anything from anyone without thier consent is morally wrong and haram. If someone makes anything like a book, game or software and he sells it you shouldn’t pirate it unless they agree to give it for free.

There are exceptions for that, for example if you need a book or a course but you can’t afford it you can pirate it on the promise that you’ll give it’s honor the money once you’ve it. Also, concealing knowledge is a sin in islam, so it’s permitted to pirate books and courses if the platform had banned your country ips for example or you can’t pay because us sanitation or if a state try to hide a boom for example or it’s owner refused to share knowledge and decided to not sell his book anymore. but if it’s available for sale it’s haram to pirate it against it’s owner will.

How do you guys argue against these fatwas? Are there fatwas that make piracy halal? Why do you think it’s halal if you do?

    Clever, but as far as I know, Jesus isn’t credited with actually writing any of the bible. The actual authors, like Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, are all long dead.

      Akshually, the 4 gospels are attributed to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John but Christian scholars admit the actual authors are anonymous.
