Writing Books Under a Pseudonym

Question
What is the ruling on writing articles and books under a pseudonym? The author does not intend to deceive people but rather wants to remain anonymous?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If his writing does not spread corruption and obscenity, but rather calls for goodness and what benefits people, then it is permissible. However, it is preferable for it to be written in a name to protect rights and prevent it from being claimed by false claimants. And God knows best.
