Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by ShariahBoard.org

Assalamualaikum,

I have seen some online ways to earn money like transcribing. In simple words, the process of converting a video recording or a voice recording into text format is called transcription or transcribing. A transcriptionist is the person who converts the audio file into text format. My question is that is transcribing a way of earning halaal? If there are any possible scenarios where such an earning may not be right please mention them.

Jazakallah

الجواب وباللہ التوفیق

What are you intending to do with the speeches or videos? What kind of video is this or the video is related to or meant for what topic/subject/person? Please re-write the question with clarity so the answer could be given.
