Question:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am a medical student studying at Cumilla Medical College, Bangladesh. The books written by foreign authors are very expensive here. Many cannot afford them. So, they buy photocopied versions of the books.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The scholars have differed with regard to the issue of copyrights. Copyrights are considered to be intellectual property and is a valid shari right.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Therefore, the use of pirated copies or pirated software is not permissible as it is considered a violation of a valid right.\u201d[i]<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
