NDTVVPN Use Violates Islamic Law, Rules Pakistan's Top Religious BodyIn Pakistan, accessing blocked content via virtual private networks (VPNs) is prohibited under Shariah, or Islamic law, the country's top religious body has declared.
@fury999io I'm something of an expert in Islamic law, and there are a couple of problems here. First, VPN cannot possibly violate Islamic law. Islam has a long-running tradition of privacy rights. The technology itself has no bearing on religious values. Second, even if something is forbidden in Islamic law, that doesn't automatically grant the state the authority to interfere.
