What is the ruling on paying money to someone in exchange for paid educational videos, knowing that one's financial situation does not allow for paying their original price, and is this money considered theft?

If the teacher permits the recording and dissemination of lessons, there is no objection to benefiting from them and paying someone to do so. However, if the teacher prohibits it, the default ruling is that it is not permissible. Nevertheless, some scholars permit it for personal benefit, and there is no harm in adopting this view out of necessity.
