Thou shalt not steal WiFi

DUBAI: Stealing WiFi from your neighbor would not be proper Islamic conduct, says a fatwa from Dubai’s Islamic Affairs & Charitable Activities Department. It says: “There is nothing wrong in using the line if your neighbors allow you to do so, but if they’d don’t allow you, you may not use it.” It is available on the department’s website as a response to a reader’s question. The fatwa matches others issued by other regional clerics. The department answers a variety of online questions ranging from religious matters to cosmetic surgeries and illegally downloading movies.
