Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a question about books that say “copyright reserved” or recordings that say “reserved.”

Answer:
Yes, it is not permissible except with the permission of their owners. What is marked as reserved is not permissible to take without the permission of its owners, because these are the rights of people, and it is not permissible to encroach upon them without their permission.
