What is the ruling on publishing animated videos for children on YouTube to achieve financial profits from advertisements, and is the permission of the producing companies required for that, bearing in mind that they are widely available on the internet and television and do not include prohibited content?

The caveats regarding animated films are not limited to the display of 'awrah' (private parts) or music; they may also include meanings that contradict creed or promote wrong behaviors. Meanwhile, purposeful films that are free from Sharia prohibitions are permissible.

Publishing permissible films depends on the permission of their producers, because intellectual and literary rights are protected, and the default for these films is that their rights are reserved. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the permission of their owners before copying them, and their widespread availability on the internet does not mean that copying them is permissible.

If the producing company grants permission for publication, there is no harm in profiting from advertisements, provided that they are permissible.
