The fatwa issued prohibits the infringement of the rights of authors and software owners by copying their works or creating cracks without their permission, regardless of whether they are Muslims or non-belligerent disbelievers. Therefore, it is not permissible to create a crack for a program or to purchase it from someone who has done so, as this constitutes an infringement of the rights of the software owners.
