The ruling on copying lectures and anthems and uploading them to the network, when some of them are marked “All rights reserved”

Question:
Please, Fahd. The Shaykh was asked regarding religious lectures and Islamic anthems: Is it permissible to copy them on YouTube and communication platforms, such as WhatsApp and others?

Answer:
Yes, that is the last question. If they are protected, meaning it says “All copies reserved.” Okay, the question is clear, Fahd, thank you. My brother, the religious lectures delivered by scholars, which contain benefits in creed, worship, and what is lawful and forbidden, are good. These should be preserved and listened to. As for the anthems, it is not permissible to circulate them because they are a type of singing. They are a type of singing and a slogan of the Sufis or the slogan of the partisans. They are an innovation and have no benefit; rather, they are harmful. As for the good tapes that are marked as protected, it is not permissible to copy them without the permission of their owners, because they belong to them. Therefore, their permission must be sought in that matter. Yes.
