Is it permissible to hack the email of someone who stole a Facebook page and restore it from him, considering the effort put into developing it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no objection to seeking to recover a stolen page if you are its owner. If it cannot be recovered except by hacking the thief's email, there is no objection to that, provided that you do not transgress or abuse by looking at the private contents of the email.
