Is changing the IP address to access blocked foreign websites and profit from them considered Haram?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

We have previously issued a fatwa stating the impermissibility of changing the IP address for the purposes mentioned, due to the deception and fraud it involves towards website administrators, and its violation of their terms and conditions. Muslims are bound by their conditions, unless a condition makes lawful what is unlawful, or unlawful what is lawful. Money acquired through this method is forbidden and must be guaranteed to the website owners.
