About Adobe Illustrator subscription or piracy version!

[Jubair Ahmed]

I am a Bangladeshi and use Adobe Illustrator, but I am not a professional designer, my question will be a little long but it is very important to me, I hope you will give me the answer with your valuable time,

 Since I am a Muslim, I listen to Islamic lectures all the time. I learned a few days ago that software companies offer subscriptions, which are completely forbidden to use without a subscription.

To my surprise, I earn less than 30 a month from Adobe Illustrator to support my family, but the subscription fee to Adobe Illustrator is 19, which I can't afford.

So is there a way for Adobe Illustrator to pay Adobe Illustrator 20% of what I earn, or to use Adobe Illustrator in any other halal way at a low cost?

Thank you so much for reading the question with your precious time, I hope you will give me the answer, Creator blesses you.

First of all: this forum is mostly users helping other users, so it could be that you don't get an answer from Adobe staff.

I can understand that you are deeply concerned. Unfortunately the possiblities are limited. There are reduced rates for students https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/buy/students.html and there are reduced rates for non-profit organisations https://helpx.adobe.com/enterprise/using/non-profit.html . I don't know your situation and I won't be able to tell you if you can apply for one of these.

Since you are not a professional designer and maybe you are not following a career path that leads to being one: you could try out alternative software. There is even open source software available which is completely free.
