Q: Is it permissible to post on whatsapp recipes from a book without the permission of the author. The lady is very angry as people are posting her recipes. Her books are expensive and not all can afford to buy it.
A: It is permissible. She does not need to get angry. She should be happy that more people are benefiting. Hence, her thawaab will increase.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
