Is it permissible to benefit from a university account after graduation to obtain free programs, and is it permissible to use another student's account after the original account has been closed?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Companies dedicating free programs for university students is a conditional gift, and its condition is that the recipient be a university student. It is not permissible for someone who does not meet this condition to resort to deception or cheating, due to the Almighty's saying: "O you who have believed, fulfill [all] contracts," and due to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Muslims are bound by their conditions." Therefore, whoever has graduated from university no longer meets the condition, and it is not permissible for him to take those programs, whether through an open account or through a university student.
