    Question: I am a student and I am not able to purchase an authorized original software like Autocad etc which is too costly i.e. Rs 30000/-. Can I use pirated software for only learning purpose? These software are available free of cost for American students as I know.

    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 424/424/M=1433) Though the mere use of pirated software shall not be termed as haram and unlawful but it is against caution.

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
