Jazakallah hu khair brother Abu Muslim! so many times I thought and reached to conclusion that we are just using for reading and gaining knowledge not selling to any one. Brother can you give me the reference of the Shaykh ibn Baz fatwa so that in future if any one ask i can give him reference..

Sister Mariam and Aisha: Walaykum salaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh

Regarding the issue of copyright:

Shaykh ibn Baz has a fatwh concerning copy rights of books and the possibility of benefiting from these books as long as there are no any commercial benefits (everything on Dhikrullah.com is completely free of charge for the sake of Allah)

However there are a few things that I believe that should be looked at before passing any judgements on this issue, for indeed it is an issue of great controversy.

-Firstly: Islam is not the property of an individual.The Quran and the sunnah are divine revelations revealed to man in order that they be followed.

-Secondly: There is no precedent in the glorious Word of the Almighty nor in the sunnah, nor in the views of the early jurists (fuqaha) that knowledge of islam can be subjected to private ownership or to sale and purchase.

-Thirdly: I see it as a major obstuction in the spreading of this beautiful deen,as many people can only afford their basic daily needs which i believe are the majority,therefore copyright prevents these people from learning their deen.

-Forthly: Many people buy their islamic material on line which in reality could lead to a prohibited act (i.e) credit cards etc…

-Fifthly: Copyright today for most people has become no more than business,where many people have lost the real focus of dawah which should be solely for the sake of Allah.

SubhanAllah, sister. It is a great blessing that I read this comment before proceeding to download the file. It reminded me of the consequences of heedlessness in sharing or taking things for which we may not have permission. JazakAllah for the reminder.

Asalamu Alaikum -

I was downloading “Men Around the Messenger” by Khalid Muhammed. I was wondering if you have received permission from the publishers to reprint this copy onto PDF to be distributed. I have noted that almost every islamic book is available in pdf online, but I don’t want to just download it for free if the publishers haven’t given permission, because then I may be guilty of theft on the day of judgement. I apologize if this question seems rude, but MashAllah you have a beautiful site and I wish to download from the web, but with permission. Jazakullah Khairun in advance. May Allah SWT Bless you and Grant you Ease.
