Is it permissible for young men to alter their voices to sound like women in order to call other young men for financial gain? What is the ruling on their benefiting from such money? And what is the response to someone who claims this is permissible to deter those who harass girls?

This act is forbidden by Islamic law and combines several prohibitions: deceiving a Muslim, prying into their private affairs, causing them to fall into sin, consuming wealth unlawfully, and imitating the voices of women, which is a form of imitating them. Imitating women is one of the major sins. Whoever obtains money through this method is not permitted to benefit from it; rather, they must dispose of it. The argument that this method is permissible to deter those who boldly engage in conversations with girls is false, for evil cannot be remedied by committing other, graver evils.
