As salamu alaikum ustaz,
There are a lot of books for educational purposes that are books by foreign writers. These books are in dollars and not affordable for me. The books are sold in our local market at a very cheap price. Students like us always purchase these cheap copy books. Can I read these books? Is it considered gunah for us that we don't purchase from the actual author, which is not affordable for us.??
If it is Gunah, what should we do for this scenario because we can't purchase from the original author in dollars?
I & most of Bangladeshi people reads foreign books like this.I have read few books like this before.
