Is it okay to earn money by uploading the content of scholars like Molana Tariq Jameel Bayan or Noman Khan etc on Youtube Or Can I record a Hadith in my Voice by reading it from a book and earn from it through Youtube? And I believe that the Content of Scholars is not Copyright like on different Apps it's Available?

Please don't ask questions related to Fiqh on this site as this is not a Fatwa site, anyone can answer here. Mostly, questions related to Qur'an and Hadith are welcome. For Fatwas from credible scholars take a look at islamqa.com– Syed Mohammad SannanJan 27, 2022 at 17:10

This is more like a juridicial issue. To keep it safe, I'd say send an e-mail to one of them in which you ask their permission to use their content.
But there are 4 main things to take into consideration when taking their content which is written in the Copyright Law of the USA and I think Youtube follows it too:
(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work

1So you just cite a hadith. Why wouldn't it be allowed? You educate your audience. That's permissible and even encouraged both in Islam and western countried and Youtube's policy is fine with it.– user24306Jul 25, 2018 at 11:29

Well on the first question I'd say yes of course you can make money with it.– user24306Jul 25, 2018 at 11:41

Well I'd suggest as I said in my answer. You should send them an e-mail first in which you ask their permission to do so to avoid unnecessary conflicts.– user24306Jul 25, 2018 at 11:43

But just look for answers yourself in hadith in works from Al Buchaari and Muslim for example.– user24306Jul 25, 2018 at 11:43
