What is the ruling on hacking the emails, websites, and devices of the enemies of Islam, such as the Danes and Americans?
We advise you to occupy your time with what benefits you in your religion and your worldly life, and to utilize your knowledge of the Internet and computers for that. There is no sin in hacking websites and devices of the enemies of Islam who fight Islam, hinder its path, and insult the Prophet, peace be upon him. In fact, it is an obligation for those who are able to do so, to ward off their evil. However, be careful that this does not lead to hacking the devices of Muslims or those who do not fight Islam. The principle is that hacking devices is impermissible due to the aggression against others' rights and the exposure of their private matters, unless hacking the devices and websites of the enemies of Islam becomes necessary to repel their harm.
