Is using paid programs via a crack that opens a fake license considered impermissible, knowing that their price is high and their use is for educational or practical purposes?

It is not permissible to use a crack to obtain an illegitimate license for software, as this constitutes an infringement on the rights of its owners. The Permanent Committee has issued a fatwa prohibiting the copying of software whose owners forbid its copying except with their permission, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Muslims are bound by their conditions," and his saying: "The property of a Muslim person is not lawful except with his willing consent." This prohibition includes both personal and commercial use, and this is the most cautious approach and clears one's conscience.
