What is the ruling on downloading a free Quran application for mobile if the images of the Quran pages in this application are taken from a Mushaf that has "All rights reserved" written at the end of it? And what is the ruling if the source of these images is unknown? And are all the books on your website authorized for publication by their owners?
What is labeled "copyrighted" is not permissible to publish or copy except with the owner's permission, in preservation of intellectual property rights. Some scholars have allowed this for personal use, provided there is no commercial gain. As for free programs of unknown origin, it is permissible to use them unless it is known that they obtained their material from a copyrighted source without permission. The Islamic Library on Islamweb obtained the right to publish its books through legitimate means.
