Question:

Please explain if there are any rulings behind using 'wireless internet'? - Some have their internet service protected but others don't. Those that have theirs unprotected, does it allow you to use their service even though you are not paying for it?

Answer:

It is not permitted to use a service another has paid for. Moreover, when a person -for example living in a neighbouring house- employs another's signal it reduces the speed and efficiency of the latter's own access and is thus a second sin.
