So recently my friend has told me due to the ayah ( يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَوْفُوا بِالْعُقُودِ..)
Which means "Quran 5:1 O you who believe fullfil contracts."
Now people mention how web scraping is haram since it's a violation to TOS.
And doing work on a site requiring you to be 18+ years old is haram since it's a violation to TOS if your below it and even if you don't do work you just literally access that website and whatever useful stuff they have in you use for your own business.
I find it personally very hard to make money online like dropshipping (can't advertise without music)/Youtube (can't make money from adsense and many sponsers will require you to add background music)/ Day trading/ Real estate (Need to take loans or you can argue do the islamic finance still not worth it because it'll require capital and extensive knowledge). and so on it's pretty much close to impossible to run a proper business online without including music
And even like for me i want to sell social media accounts that aren't stolen nor have any ill intent or used for any wrong purposes but i can't now because "TOS violation haram" even though it's legal. And most social media services which use automated activity that doesn't harm no one nor affects the platform but "TOS violation haram"
Drives me insane honestly knowing this. It's halal to not read TOS based on the sheikh assim alhakim and no one reads it, like literally i looked into it it's made so that if you want to sue the company they'll be covered. They include as much stuff in the TOS as possible even if it doesn't make any sense, and if we were to read TOS it would take us 250 working hours, like even lawyers that make these terms of services don't read it i went OCD and started looking into that as well.
And it goes even deeper cause here in saudi we have a test called "qudrat" which is basically like an SAT for your college acceptance and before you take the exam you literally have to write down the rules of the exam in which it says don't send any of the questions after the exam and what's funny is no one follows it I'm talking the entire arab nation 50+ million and they violate it and what's funnier is you cannot study these tests without the questions leaked cause the books used to study it are from teachers who gathered these questions and just add them onto the book and create formulas and whatnot to solve these questions, so does that mean me studying this and getting into college is haram?
My question leads to this if i do something non sinister or doesn't affect anyone infact just boost businesses and do ethical activity but in line 10041413 in a TOS it says your not allowed to do automated activity does that make my money haram?
Please give me an answer cause I've been going insane past 2 months on this it's like i cannot do anything at all.
I can talk more but i don't want this to be too long.
