The answer

Intellectual property rights are protected and owned by their proprietors, and it is not permissible to infringe upon them. Accordingly, it is not permissible to publish books electronically without the permission of the copyright owner. Permission to read and access does not grant the right to publish. This right is exclusive to its owner, and it is not permissible to dispose of it except with their permission.
