Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Many people do not know these gems from the words of Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him). Is it permissible for a student of knowledge to extract some topics and publish them separately, or is that an encroachment on this book?
Answer:
No. Scholars take from this book, cite from it, and quote from it, attributing it to him. They take it and remain silent, saying: Ibn al-Qayyim said such-and-such in his book such-and-such, on page such-and-such. Yes.
