If the program is free from Shar’i violations, there is no impediment to using it, even if its designer is a disbeliever or a belligerent, and even if the belligerent benefits from its price. Trade with disbelievers is permissible as long as it does not strengthen them against fighting Muslims, unless Muslims see a Shar’i benefit in an economic boycott that weakens theavers. The assessment of this matter rests with the people of knowledge and specialization.
