Is one who buys licensed software that contains music which cannot be deleted from the disc, in order to help another person, sinful?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no harm in purchasing a program that contains unintentional music if the primary use of the program is permissible, due to the music not being the intended object of the contract, and because of the widespread affliction (balwa) of music being present in programs. However, it is not permissible to assist a relative in purchasing it if it is highly probable that he intends to use it for something forbidden, such as listening to music.
