The Ruling on Deceiving Telecommunications Companies to Make Free Calls

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Question:
Some Muslims perform certain actions with the phone that enable them to make calls for free. Is this considered theft?

Answer:
This action is not permissible. It is betrayal and manipulation. It is not permissible; rather, one must be cautious of it, because it is taking money by unjust means. We ask Allah for safety.
