Intellectual property (IP) protection has attracted diverse views among Islamic law researchers, leading to its eventual acceptance on the premise of indirect legal authority by most Muslim scholars. This paper explores the preconditions that any innovation on the internet must meet to enjoy IP protection under Islamic law. It provides working tools for Muslims on the principles to be observed in seeking IP protection for any of their innovations. It also urges governments of Muslim countries which have hitherto refused to accord legal protection to IP on religious grounds to change their position.

互联网创新的知识产权：伊斯兰法的必要条件

知识产权 (IP) 保护在伊斯兰法律研究人员中引起了不同的观点，导致大多数穆斯林学者在间接法律权威的前提下最终接受了它。本文探讨了互联网上的任何创新必须满足的先决条件，才能享受伊斯兰法律下的知识产权保护。它为穆斯林提供了工作工具，遵循为他们的任何创新寻求知识产权保护时应遵守的原则。它还敦促迄今为止以宗教为由拒绝为知识产权提供法律保护的穆斯林国家政府改变立场。
