As long as you don't hit the net and the ball stays in play by all other rules, you hit around the net.

Well you could hit the net but it has to go to the opponents side if it hit in your side its the opponents point.

Yes, as long as you don't touch the net or the other side. You can't touch the ball until it crosses the net to your side, but once it crosses over, if it has spin and goes back to the opponent's side, you can and must reach over the net to touch the ball before it's second bounce because you will lose the point if it bounces back on the opponent's side without you touching it.
