What is the ruling of Islamic law on using or purchasing textbooks issued by the Ministry of Education, given the condition that prohibits copying or quoting without the Ministry's permission? Does this prohibition apply to private copying? And what is the ruling on purchasing booklets that contain answers to these exercises from unauthorized parties, or downloading them from the internet, especially with the urgent need for them due to the absence of solutions from the original source?

The Islamic Fiqh Academy has ruled that names, titles, trademarks, authorship, inventions, and innovations are private rights belonging to their owners, possessing recognized financial value in Islamic law. It is impermissible to infringe upon them. Furthermore, it is permissible to dispose of and transfer them for monetary compensation, provided there is no harm, deception, or fraud involved.

Some scholars have permitted the copying of books and software for personal use when the original copy is unavailable or unaffordable, on the condition that it is not used for profit or trade, and is limited to the extent of actual need.

As for quoting for benefit, transferring information, and solving problems, there is no objection to it if done through accurate scholarly methods and attributed to the original source, even if the owner has not given permission, because this is a legitimate benefit that has been common practice among Muslims.

Publications issued by the Ministry that reserve copyright fall under the same ruling as books. As for other materials, there is no objection to purchasing or downloading them and benefiting from them.
