Council of Islamic Ideology declares VPNs usage ‘un-Islamic’

[BouncerGuy]

You do what the book says and what the scholars says.

Scholars have to prove that it is haram and hala from valid sources like QURAN and HADEES. They cannot simply say soothing hala or haram because they think so.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Why so?

You either believe in the words of the scholars or you don't.

But it seems people are picking what is convenient for them and then discarding if it creates obstacles.

That's not faith. When you have faith, you don't ask questions, you don't cherry pick what's halal or haram.... You do what the book says and what the scholars says.

You don't understand faith or the role of scholars.

Are you saying council of Islamic ideology brought it up out of thin air?

They need to have a solid basis for the things they say. ISLAM is not something they can use according to their own feelings and thoughts.

Gotta have a strong evidence to back their decision. This is what I meant.

Itachi is onto something here.

Per sunnah, questioning scholars is criminal intent since it is solely their discretion to label acts as hal/ram. Doesn't require arguments substantiated in jurisprudence.


Sa’d reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Among the most criminal of Muslims towards other Muslims are those who ask about a matter that is not forbidden, then it becomes forbidden for people due to his questioning.” Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 6859, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2358

PTA chairman says over 30,000 VPNs registered in Pakistan

The Senate Standing Committee on Information and Technology and Telecommunication chaired by Senator Palwasha Khan Thursday met to discuss the challenges and impacts on Pakistan’s IT sector.

The meeting was attended by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) chairman, IT secretary and chairman Pakistan Software Houses Association (P@SHA).

At the outset of the session, Sajjad Syed, chairman P@SHA revealed Pakistan’s IT sector is incurring a daily loss of Rs1.3 billion.

Mr. Sajjad said Pakistan’s IT industry is growing at a rate of 30% annually, but further disruptions could hamper progress.

During the meeting of the Senate body, IT secretary stated that internet disruptions occur for national security reasons, but the committee stressed the need to balance security with uninterrupted connectivity.

On Virtual Private Networks, PTA chairman said 30,974 VPNs have been registered so far, with licenses set to be issued by January 2025.

Senator Kamran Murtaza questioned whether PTA had challenged directives affecting the internet sector, while Senator Afnaan Ullah highlighted issues with spectrum management and its non-correlation with slow internet speeds.

The committee urged PTA and the Ministry of IT to ensure that VPN registration and regulatory measures do not hinder Pakistan’s IT growth trajectory.

Back on 19 Nov 2024, PTA announced a ‘simplified’ VPN registration process for freelancers and organisations.

Now, software houses, call centres, banks, embassies, and freelancers can easily register their VPNs via PTA’s official website.

Members of the Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB) can also benefit from this facility, according to a press statement issued by the PTA.

Good news for Pakistani freelancers! PTA's major step

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) on Saturday launched a new initiative to facilitate freelancers by enabling VPN registration through mobile numbers.

Previously, freelancers seeking to register VPNs were required to provide a static IP address, which posed significant difficulties for those without access to such an address.

With this new update, individuals who do not possess a static IP can now register their VPN using their mobile number, enabling them to utilize mobile data for VPN access.

The move is seen as a progressive step to promote the IT industry and streamline internet security measures.

According to a PTA spokesperson, the decision was made to ease the registration process, ensuring that freelancers could continue their work uninterrupted by technical barriers.

The new registration system is designed to simplify the process for freelancers, allowing them to register their mobile number on the PTA portal and complete the VPN registration.

The portal link for registration is [https://ipregistration.pta.gov.pk], where users will be required to provide their mobile number and other necessary details to finalize the process.

Since the introduction of the system, more than 31,000 VPNs have been registered through PTA, reflecting the success and demand for this new facility.

The initiative comes as part of broader efforts by the PTA to regulate internet usage and combat the spread of illegal online content, while also supporting the growth of the country’s IT sector.

Yes. They were told to by thugs and did as told.
