Abstract: Intellectual Property Rights, or IPR, are essential for economic development and innovation, especially in the current digital era. However, certain aspects need to be considered in the context of Islamic financial law to ensure that IPR is applied relatively and by legal principles, especially law of Islam. This article analyzes the perspective of Islamic economic law regarding IPR in the current digital era, including its protection, use, and utilization. This study is a normative juridical study using a statute approach, which begins by investigating existing laws and regulations both in the positive legal framework and in the Islamic legal framework, which is based on the Koran, Hadith, and fatwas of the Ulama. Based on the study, it was found that even though IPR is not stated explicitly in the sharia, it refers to its essence, which is equated with property (mal), based on the norms, values, and principles contained in Islamic law, especially the mashed asy sharia theory, protection of IPR is very basic and integrated into the belief held by Muslims that Islam, which consists of monotheism, sharia, and morals, is an inseparable unity and illegal use of IPR is an injustice. The urgency of this study lies in the importance of IPR protection to encourage innovation and creativity in various fields, as well as the importance of considering Sharia principles in the use of IPR to provide optimal economic benefits for rights owners and society. Key Words: Intellectual property rights, digital era, sharia economic law
