A Copy of a Copyrighted Recorded Mushaf

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: The King Fahd Complex in Madinah publishes a recorded mushaf, and some Islamic recording companies take it and repeat the verse three times to make it a study curriculum. Then they write on the tape: “Copyright reserved.” The question is: Is it permissible for me to copy it and distribute it for free to students?

Answer:
According to the Complex, you must obtain a license from the King Fahd Complex. If they grant you a license for a copy, you may copy it. It is obligatory for you to obtain a license from the entity that issued it. Yes.
