What is the ruling of Islamic law regarding money earned from a website created using internet accessed unlawfully?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Your access to the Internet network in the manner described is not permissible. You must cease doing so and seek forgiveness from the subscriber. If he forgives you, then all is well. Otherwise, you are obliged to pay the value of what you benefited from his right. If you are unable to do so, then donate it on his behalf to public welfare and charitable causes, similar to other rights that cannot be rendered to their owners. There is no harm in what you earn from the website as long as its content is permissible.
