The texts

Every work in this corpus is public domain. The gate is the author's death year, taken from the canonical work identifier: a work is admitted only if its author died by 1350 AH (1931 CE), which clears life-plus-seventy in every jurisdiction. The latest author present is صالح بن محمد اللحيدان (d. 1350 AH / 1931 CE). Works whose authors died later were not included by reference either — they were simply left out.

Distribution of works by the author's Hijri century: 0c: 7, 1c: 58, 2c: 61, 3c: 324, 4c: 389, 5c: 379, 6c: 358, 7c: 359, 8c: 672, 9c: 360, 10c: 352, 11c: 157, 12c: 110, 13c: 249, 14c: 187.

The transcriptions

The texts reached us as machine-readable files from the Open Islamicate Texts Initiative, release 2025.1.9, which is licensed CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. That licence travels with the data: reuse of this dataset must remain non-commercial, must preserve attribution, and must be shared under the same licence. This is the binding term for the dataset as a whole, and it is stricter than the public-domain status of the underlying works.

Printed editions, where the source records one, are named per work in the edition column of the works config rather than repeated here.

Removal

A removal-on-request statement is not treated as permission to redistribute a copyrighted full text, and nothing here relies on one. If you nevertheless hold rights to something in this corpus, open a discussion on the Community tab and it will be removed promptly and without argument.
