Sale of prohibited items : dealing with pirated software and using it

Fatawa Question

In the name of Allah the most gracious the most merciful. What is the ruling regarding the use of pirated software ? Is it allowed in Shari’ah ? I belong to Kashmir where most of the software being used is pirated as there is no check. Also the original software costs a lot in Indian rupees. Like a software for $ 100 would cost approx. RS. 5000 Wassalam
