Permissibility of using PDFs from the internet and sports streaming sites.
I want to ask about the permissibility of using pdfs of books that I find while browsing on the internet and using sports streaming sites. I use these books to further study language and also for university. I am unsure about using these sports streaming websites.
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Dear child,
If the owner allows it’s use, it is permissible to use. If on the other, the pdf is not intended for public use it will be impermissible to use it.
The PDFs accessible on the internet without any restrictions are usually for public use and hence permissible.
