Is it permissible to charge a fee for installing my own genuine Windows copy on a computer that I do not own?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no harm in installing a copy of the original software for others and receiving payment for it. It is permissible to sell the original copy, lease it, and benefit from it, provided one adheres to the limits of the permission granted by the company. Some software allows for multiple installations, while others permit only a single installation.
