Is It Haram To Use Ad Blockers And Download From Youtube?
Talha, in all the examples you gave (Microsoft, Adobe, Google), as far as I understand their terms of use explicitly prohibit piracy, hence using those services will still be impermissible. You and I can’t unilaterally decide what constitutes a given service providers ‘haq’ – it’s their terms of use that determine that. Terms of Use is a contract between the provider and the user which serve the purpose of establishing the rights and responsibilities of each party involved. ‘Haq talafi’ (violation of rights) can only comes into existence when such contract is violated. Once again, as long as the terms of use are not violated then using an ad blocker can’t be considered haram
