Is it permissible to launch a program for self-programmed hacking on an Arabic website, along with absolving oneself of responsibility for those who use it against innocent people, and given that the program is designated for hacking those who abuse religion or bad individuals?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The default ruling regarding hacking websites is prohibition and impermissibility, unless the owner of the website is not legally respectable, such as belligerent disbelievers, or if the website's content is not legally respectable, such as atheistic websites. Hacking programs are used for both permissible and impermissible purposes. Therefore, it is permissible to create and disseminate them for those who use them for permissible purposes, with the caveat that they should only be used for what is lawful.
