Is It Haram To Use Ad Blockers And Download From Youtube?
Talha, Sorry I don’t think knowing about why Google or some other company does not remove adblock extenstions from the their stores or why they allow software like this answers my question. In your opinion Faisal bhai’s argument was not good enough when he said if we are not breaking the terms and conditions then adblock can’t be considered haram. You said you would consider that haram regardless of whether it breaks the terms and conditions or not. Then in the next reply you said its up to us whether we should use adblock or not. I just want to know if it’s haram or not. If it is then I wont use it. What project I work on wouldnt really matter in that case. What’s haram is haram and we should stay away from it.
I think the correct approach is to just check the terms of service of the system that you are using. As long as you are not breaking that contract then it should be fine. So in my view we should just disable the adblocker by default. And if you are 100% sure of a service that allows adblock then enable it only for that service to stop the annoying ads.
