Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : His EminenceThe Shaykh : What is the ruling on copying tapes whose copying rights are reserved?
The Shaykh : In my view, if a person copies them for himself only, not for trade, there is nothing wrong with it, because this causes no harm. But the one who copies them for trade and distributes them is committing aggression. This is like a Muslim selling over the sale of his brother, and a Muslim selling over the sale of his brother is forbidden.
