Is it permissible for me to copy hadiths from websites that clarify their authenticity from their weakness, or from any other website, and publish them without permission?
It is permissible to quote and copy from books and websites without permission, and this is not considered an infringement of copyright. However, it is a condition to attribute the quoted material to its owner, whether it is an author or a website, for it is part of the blessing of knowledge to attribute it to its people. Whoever does not adhere to this condition is violating the trust of transmission and the etiquette of benefiting and being beneficial, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The one who pretends to have been given what he has not been given is like one who wears two garments of falsehood."
