Employee Use of Company-Paid Software
There is an employee in a company, and this company provided the employees with a paid programming software, with a subscription for a full year that the company paid for. The goal is to facilitate the company's work through this paid programming. Can this employee use this software for something other than their job, knowing that the software is paid for a full year and it wouldn't matter if they used it 24 hours a day?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is not permissible to use them for purposes other than the company's work unless there is explicit permission or indication from them in that regard; because they are owned by it, it is not permissible to exceed the limits set by them in benefiting from them, and God knows best.
