Is it permissible for a civil engineering student to use and sell a paid software course that he obtained for free through legitimate means, and does he bear the sin of those who watch the course and use the software illegitimately?
If the granting body for the software programs stipulates that they are to be used only for study, then this condition must be adhered to. However, if no such condition exists, there is no harm in using them for permissible purposes and training courses. There is no prohibition against benefiting from them due to fear that some people might steal them.
