Religious authorities in Dubai have issued a fatwa (Islamic religious edict) against the use of your neighbour’s WiFi.
According to the fatwa, using a neighbour’s WiFi when they grant you permission is excusable, but stealing it is not proper Islamic conduct.
I highly doubt Mohammed had any idea what WiFi was when he penned his best-selling fiction novel ‘The Quran’.
Fatwas are edicts, legally binding, that can be issued by Islamic authorities based on authority derived from and inspired by the Quran.
Dubai’s Islamic Affairs & Charitable Activities Department issued the fatwa, as part of a responsibility of theirs where they answer queries online.
“There is nothing wrong in using the line if your neighbours allow you to do so, but if they’d don’t allow you, you may not use it.” the fatwa reads, according to Mashable.
Thanks for clearing that up, Dubai’s least useful public service office.
