What is the ruling on copying content from the internet onto discs and selling them?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The information published on the Internet belongs to its owners, and most websites only permit personal use of their content. Copyright, innovation, and invention rights are protected in Islamic law for their owners. The Islamic Fiqh Academy has issued a resolution stating that these rights are legally recognized, and it is not permissible to violate them. They are legally protected, and their owners have the right to dispose of them. Based on this, it is not permissible to copy topics from the Internet and sell them without the permission of their owners.
