What is the ruling on converting a book of Fiqh from prose to a mind map, translating it into Indonesian, while retaining the author's name, and selling it?
Condensing and rephrasing through mind maps or translation are considered valid purposes of authorship. Authorship involves inventing something new, completing something incomplete, clarifying something obscure, summarizing a lengthy work without compromising meaning, compiling scattered information, organizing jumbled material, or correcting an error. There is no harm in this, especially with heritage books, provided the original author's name is mentioned.
