Earning from Google Play Applications by Relying on Google Links
I work in the field of application development by creating an app on Google Play, such as creating a Quran app where I take audio links of reciters from Google, place them in my app, and upload the app to Google Play. When people download the app and view the ads on my app, I earn profits from this app. Is this permissible?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The existence of these links on the internet for free indicates that they are permissible for use, and using them in an application for financial benefit falls within this use, unless there is something from them indicating a prohibition against benefiting from them in the manner of applications and the like. And God knows best.
