%X The purpose of this article is to elucidate the protection of intellectual property under Sharia law. The article approaches this subject not only historically but also analytically. In particular, the article elaborates on the legal concepts that may provide a basis for intellectual property protection in Sharia by analyzing the present-day challenges of incorporating new types of intellectual property rights under Sharia. The article also examines the reasons for the lack of sufficient protection for intellectual property rights in Arab countries considering that Sharia recognizes these rights in some form.
