Conclusion of the first internship program

Ending of the Internship Program at the Libyan Information Technology and Telecommunication Organization

The Libyan Information Technology and Telecommunication Organization is pleased to announce the successful conclusion of the internship program, which was organized with the aim of developing the capabilities of Libyan youth in the fields of ICT and management and enabling them to acquire the skills necessary to integrate into the growing labor market in this field.

Over the course of two months, a group of talented students and graduates participated in our intensive internship program, where they underwent comprehensive theoretical and practical training in various aspects of ICT and management. The trainees showed great enthusiasm and commitment, resulting in impressive results.

We would like to congratulate all the trainees on their outstanding achievement and appreciate their valuable efforts and contributions during the internship period. We are confident that they will become the future leaders of ICT in Libya.

We also commend the efforts of the organization’s dedicated team, who have done their best to provide a rich and supportive learning environment for the trainees.

We reaffirm our continued commitment to developing the capabilities of Libyan youth and enabling them to achieve their ambitions.

There is no doubt that the internship program has been a tremendous success by recruiting a number of its members, and we announce that we will continue to organize similar programs in the future with the aim of supporting Libyan youth and helping them achieve their full potential.

A request for a fatwa on the ruling regarding the acquisition and sale of counterfeit signal booster devices and their impact on local networks.

The Libyan Technology Foundation, formerly known as the Libyan Organization for Information and Communication Technology, reached out to Dar Al-Iftaa Libya to seek a religious opinion on the legal status of acquiring, selling, and purchasing counterfeit signal booster devices, which interfere with nearby towers. The response came in the form of an official fatwa numbered 5101, as follows:

Fatwa No. (5101)

Respected Sir/ Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Libyan Organization for Information and Communication Technology,

Peace be upon you, and God’s mercy and blessings,

In reference to your correspondence marked as (LOT-350), dated (24/01/2023), which included a query about the ruling on acquiring and selling mobile signal booster equipment that is not officially approved and causes interference that prevents coverage for residents within the range of the tower where these devices are used.

Answer:

Praise be to God, and prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of God, his family, companions, and those who follow him.

After that:
Adhering to the regulations and laws established to organize and achieve people’s interests is obligatory. If these devices are non-compliant with the specifications set by the responsible authorities and it has been proven that they cause harm to citizens by interfering with their coverage, then it is not permissible to acquire them, nor to engage in their sale or purchase. This is because they serve as an enhancement for their owner at the expense of harming others. It is not permissible for anyone to improve their situation by harming others. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “There should be neither harm nor reciprocating harm” [Muwatta Malik: 1429]. And God knows best.

And may the peace and blessings of God be upon our master Muhammad, his family, and companions.

Fatwa Committee at Dar Al-Iftaa:
Ahmed Milad Qaddour | Mufti
Hassan bin Salem Al-Sharif | Mufti
Sadiq bin Abdulrahman Al-Gharyani | Grand Mufti of Libya

14th Rajab 1444 AH | 05 February 2023 AD
