Translations of the Scholars' Books

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If a student of knowledge wants to translate some of the books of a scholar into another language, is it obligatory for the student to seek permission from that scholar before the translation?

Answer:
Without a doubt, it is not permissible to deal with a book by adding annotations, writing about it, summarizing it, or translating it without the permission of its owner. These are the rights of the authors. Yes.
