Copying articles from different websites onto my blog
Question
I post articles on my blog copied from other authentic islamic websites via html commands. I never took permission from the owner of the website. I just write the link below article where I took the article from. Please tell me if it is permissible.
Answer
If there are no changes made to the articles, (and it is placed in the correct context), it will be permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
