The Juridical-Legal Basis of Intellectual Property

Intellectual property rights have particular importance in today's world and have attracted the attention of governments due to their economic value, so that in some countries such as China there is a special discipline with the same name up to the Ph.D. level.  In Islamic jurisprudence, this issue does not have a long history and it is referred to as "monotheistic issues" and they theorize by this title to prove or disprove this issue. The opponents of these rights have put forward their views about the rule of Taslit, the lack of signing of the Shareh, the prevention of the concealment of science, the necessity of guiding ignorant and the inclusion of intellectual property in the property of the state.  The proponents of intellectual property have also developed their own views about the rule of Lazarar (No-harm), accuracy, falsehood, the theory of al-Fraqih, Velayat-e faqih, the public of Ophawab al-Aqoud and Sire Oghala (the lifestyle of the wise).  In this article, the views of the Islamic jurists have been considered in rejecting or proving this issue and we have legitimized it with respect to the consensus of the wise in proving the legitimacy of intellectual property.  There are also issues on how to submit ideas and thoughts.
