Is using illegally downloaded Adobe Photoshop for profit halal?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
(1) An Adobe Photoshop software new version price may be 100000 BDT. If anyone use the software by download from internet. Is it halal?
(2) And earn money making graphics from that Photoshop is halal?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 945/1027/M=9/1438)

(1-2) If it is generally allowed to download the said software from the internet then you may download it and use it. It is not unlawful to earn the money lawfully, rather it is mandatory to avoid its unlawful use (making unlawful pictures).
