Is it sinful to copy a purchased lecture CD in order to give it to friends for sharing religious knowledge?
Short answer
The ruling depends on the position of the speaker and the organiser.

No evidence of gazettement in the source — this is not a gazetted fatwa.
Summary
The ruling depends on the position of the speaker and the organiser. If they do not mind and the lecture was held purely for the sake of knowledge, copying it for sharing is permitted. If a fee was charged for attendance to cover the costs of the lecture, copying without permission is not allowed because it amounts to taking another person's right without consent.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pertama: Dilihat kepada keadaan penceramah dan penganjur, jika mereka tidak kisah dan aktiviti ceramah itu hanya kerana ilmu, maka dibenarkan mengulang cetak untuk perkongsian.
