Question

I am a student. I have few notes that are copyright and very expensive but I have a copy of them. Can I sell copies at a low price as a lot of people are looking to buy them online and I need money for further studies?

Answer

It is permissible for you to do this.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

الحقوق المجردة لا يجوز الاعتياض عنها كحق الشفعة (الأشباه والنظائر 2/153)

وفي الأشباه لا يجوز الاعتياض عن الحقوق المجردة كحق الشفعة وعلى هذا لا يجوز الاعتياض عن الوظائف بالأوقاف وفيها في آخر بحث تعارض العرف مع اللغة المذهب عدم اعتبار العرف الخاص لكن أفتى كثير باعتباره وعليه فيفتى بجواز النزول عن الوظائف بمال (الدر المختار 4/518)
