Disposing of a duplicate copy of a book sent by the Committee
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: I asked the Permanent Committee about the rulings on songs, so they sent me a copy of the book *Al-Radd 'ala Abi Faras*, and then they sent it to me again. The question is: Am I required to return the second copy to them, or is it permissible for me to give it as a gift to one of the Muslims?
Answer:
Rather, this is for whoever needs it, because the purpose is to spread the book and draw attention to it. This is a waqf (endowment); if you no longer need it, you give it to someone who will benefit from it.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
