Recently i have completed my education and now looking for job, still i don’t have one…till i get it, i thought of doing some little business activities for not asking my parents about my expenses as they already did alot for me. So, i thought of making Cd’s of bayanat of various ulama-ikram present on internet and selling them…but i found that some websites does not allow the commercial use of the material present on their websites so i avoid those material and do not make cd’s of them…but some websites does not clarify such things…so my actual question is that…many ulama deliver valuable bayanat and public records them, put them on internet or share them by some other mean…so is it permissible for me to make cd’s of bayanat and sale them in market without taking permission or without informing those ulama-ikram. Please explain in detail other topics related to this issue too, if i have failed to ask.

You can do so provided it is free from the pictures of living being as well as the Ulama, whose speeches will be sold, have no objection in the CD or they give permission to it.
