Distribution of Recorded and Written Lessons

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Do you permit us to distribute the recorded lessons on tapes to our brothers and relatives so that they may benefit from them?

Answer:
(1) In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. (2) [All] praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the worlds -بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
[Al-Fatihah 1:1-2]
And may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions. To proceed: There is no objection to distributing what has been recorded on tapes so that people may benefit from it. However, what is written on paper, we do not permit its distribution, because the writer may make a mistake, add something I did not answer, or omit a word or add a word. This is because he may overlook some of the wording, resulting in an error. Therefore, we do not permit the distribution of written texts, but there is no harm in recording by voice. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
