rulling on buying books without copyright
Assalamu Alaykum, there are some books wich has been translated without the permission of the author, is it permissible to buy those?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Wa ‘alaykum us-salāmu wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Piracy is illegal in most countries and it is not permissible to violate the laws of the country.
Buying such books causes financial harm to the author hence impermissible
If the intended purpose does not violate the terms and conditions of copyright, then it will be permissible.
