What is the ruling on quoting, rephrasing, and compiling the works of others into a new form (especially in the field of architecture), and to what extent is this considered an infringement on intellectual property rights, given that the new work is attributed to its owner and he receives payment for it?
The gist of the fatwa is: It is permissible to benefit from printed books by utilizing and quoting information from them, because the author has permitted this by publishing the book. Infringing upon his right occurs by printing and selling the book without his permission.
