What is the ruling on a person taking booklets and pamphlets from the university mosque without permission, and their becoming damaged while in his possession, and his inability to find similar ones in the markets to return them? Is it sufficient for him to print others in their stead, and what is the ruling on replacing those that are close to being damaged?

There is no blame upon you for owning and benefiting from the brochures, booklets, and papers found in university prayer rooms. There is no obligation to return them, because the one who places them there intends for those who need them to take and benefit from them.
