Using one's neighbours WiFi without his permission

· 5 Rajab 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I use my neighbor's WiFi without his knowing. Is it permissible or is not.

Answer

Using someone's wealth or property without their permission is impermissible. You should inform him of what you have been doing and seek his forgiveness. Similarly, you should pay him for the amount of wifi you had used.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
