Is it permissible to give an original "Zad Al-Mo'allem" (Teacher's Provision) CD to a colleague for him to benefit from its materials, knowing that it is not available in the markets and that the user swore not to copy it or give it to anyone else? And is clicking "I swear yes" considered a binding oath that necessitates expiation if violated?

First: The preparation discs for teachers are the property of their owners, and it is forbidden to copy or trade them without their permission, because Islamic law guarantees the preservation of intellectual property rights and inventions. However, it is permissible for someone who bought the original disc to lend it or give it as a gift to others.

Second: Merely clicking on the oath icon is not considered an oath.

In summary: It is permissible to give the disc to your colleague for him to benefit from it.
