The question

Are those who produce videos entitled to prevent them from being re-uploaded to other channels due to the loss of real viewership that this causes? And is it necessary to verify the source of the video? And is it necessary to ensure that Islamic applications obtain permission from the owners of books or audio materials? And does this apply to all Islamic and scientific applications? And are audio materials copyright protected like photocopied books?

The answer

The basic principle regarding audio and video websites is the permissibility of benefiting from them through downloading or publishing, unless their owners prohibit it. Similarly, the original ruling is the permissibility of benefiting from Quranic programs and others, provided their owners do not prohibit such benefit. There is no obligation to ensure permission has been obtained from the owners of the audio materials or books included therein. In general, the basic principle concerning audio materials is the permissibility of benefiting from them.
