Using fake software

Submitted by admin on Sun, 2014-12-07 07:30

Q: If I have been using several versions of windows Operating systems (sometimes copies sometimes fake/cracked serial) shall I purchase individually all the copies I have used? Problem is I don't remember all the softwares I have used and for how much time I used them. Does it constitute as debt if I don't purchase all the versions of windows I have used? Thanking you in advance for your time and consideration.

A: You do not have to purchase anything. For further details refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/4519 http://muftionline.co.za/node/2787

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