as Salaamu `alykum bro

The name of a book in question is Wahdat-e-Ummat by Hadhrat Mufti Muhammad Shafee` rahimahullah copyright Dar ul Isha'at Karachi.

Alhuda published a version of that book without permission.
They added two paragraphs in that book which totally change the intended meaning of the author.
The failed to clarify that those two paragraphs were their own additions (that is, If we accept that they did not intend to mislead people, which I do not due to other reasons)

So their three crimes were:

1- Piracy
2- Tahreef in the meaning
3- Tahreef in the words

Out of these three crimes al-Huda apologized from crime no.3 (a long time after it was brought to their notice) and claimed that due to the printer's mistake, a line showing that the added information was a footnote was left out. Even if we accept that (which I do not ), they're still guilty of stealing copyrighted works and trying to change the authors intended meaning.
