A Study on the Fiqh Views on Intellectual Property Rights
Keywords:
Intellectual Property Rights, Fiqh, Intellectual Property, Intellectual Ownership, Economic RightsAbstract
Intellectual property rights have emerged as a critical topic in contemporary legal and jurisprudential discourse due to their economic and cultural significance. This article explores the fiqh perspectives on the legitimacy of these rights, analyzing arguments from both supporters and opponents. Supporters assert that these rights are valid based on principles such as the custom of reason, the principle of validity, the rule of priority, the rule of respecting others' property, the principle of non-harm, and the value of human labor outcomes. Opponents, however, challenge these rights by emphasizing the sanctity of knowledge, the prohibition of receiving wages for obligations, incompatibility with the rule of ownership, lack of legal recognition by the sharia, exclusion from the generality of "fulūd al-‘uqūd", and the non-proprietary nature of these rights. The article highlights the complexity of this issue, noting that while fiqh principles provide a foundation for the legitimacy of intellectual property rights, modern challenges require a comprehensive framework. It concludes by advocating for collaboration between jurists and legal scholars to establish laws that align with Islamic principles and address contemporary needs.
