Is it permissible to download an unavailable video game and use a crack to bypass its protection?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no harm in downloading the game if its owners permit it for free. However, if they do not permit it, then it is not permissible to download it. The fact that you purchased it previously does not permit you to download it without paying its price whenever you wish.
