The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.

The questioner : How are you, Professor?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner : Uthman is speaking with you, Uthman.
The Shaykh : Welcome, Uthman.
The questioner : How are you?
The Shaykh : By Allah, she is well, praise be to Allah.
The questioner : My professor, I received a computer program containing Sahih al-Jami' al-Saghir and its weak narrations, with your verification and al-Suyuti's tracing.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : It is written at the beginning that it is not permissible for anyone who has an unauthorized copy to use it without permission, and they left their address: Riyadh, their name, their phone, and their fax!!
The Shaykh : What is it?
The questioner : A computer program.
The Shaykh : No, no, what is the address?
The questioner : Dar al-Dubajah lil-Hafizah.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : For the computer, and the address is in Dammam. I can give you their phone and fax.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : First, my question is: do you have knowledge of their work?
The Shaykh : By Allah, the things that have come before me, whether written or oral, are many, and very many indeed.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And as you know, my only concern is to devote myself to knowledge.
The questioner : Correct.
The Shaykh : As for pursuing those who encroach upon or steal my books, or my legal rights, that is something I have no means to do.
The questioner : So, are they demanding rights for themselves now?!
The Shaykh : I know.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Therefore, if you wish to serve knowledge by serving the owner of knowledge, write to them at the same address!
The questioner : I will do so, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : And the idea is that you tell them:
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : That you mentioned such and such.
The questioner : Yes, exactly.
The Shaykh : And this statement, as we understand it, means you.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
