Question<\/strong>:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is it permissible for the author of a book to take royalties from the publishers?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer<\/strong>:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Firstly, it is inherently permissible to earn money from writing and poetry, so long as the subject matter is not fundamentally of an impermissible nature.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Secondly, the royalty agreement between an author and a publisher wherein the publisher agrees to sell the book with a certain percentage of the profits going to them and the rest going to the author can be seen as a kind of brokerage commission. This is a valid contract (despite an amount of uncertainty) due to the needs and customs of the people.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thirdly, such transactions relating to intellectual property are codified by the law and by the customs of trade internationally, as such things are now viewed as transactable according to the modern understanding of what consists of property. Therefore, such transactions have been considered as permissible according to contemporary scholars such as Mufti Taqi Uthmani.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The question of “copyright” is related to a wider concept, generally known as the concept of “intellectual property”. In previous days the concept of ownership was confined to those tangible commodities only which can be perceived through our five senses. But the speedy progress\u2026<\/span>in the means of communication gave birth to the new concept of “intellectual property” which extended the concept of ownership to some intangible objects also. The theory of “intellectual property” contemplates that whoever applies his mental labour to invent something is the owner of the fruits of his labour. If a person has invented a certain instrument, he does not own that instrument only, but he also owns the formula he has used for the first time to invent it. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Therefore, nobody can use that formula without his permission. Similarly, if a person has written a book, he is the exclusive owner of the right to publish it, and nobody has any right to publish that book without his permission. This right of an author or an inventor is termed as his “intellectual property”. It is also implied in this theory that the owner of such rights can sell them to others like any other tangible objects. The law of “copyright” has come into existence in order to secure such rights and to give legal protection to this kind of property.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is obvious that the concept of intellectual property on which the law of copyright is based is a new phenomenon created by the rapid progress of industry and the means of communication, therefore, the concept is not expressly mentioned in the Holy Qur\u2019an or in the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The acceptability or otherwise of such new concept which are not clearly mentioned in the original resources of Islamic jurisprudence can only be inferred from the general principles laid down by the Shari\u2019ah. As the views of the jurists may differ while applying these principles to the new situations, there is always a wide scope of difference of opinion in such cases. The question of “intellectual property” has also been a subject of discussion among the contemporary Muslim scholars of Shari\u2019ah whose opinions are different about its acceptability in Shari\u2019ah.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A group of contemporary scholars do not approve the concept of “intellectual property”. According to them the concept of ownership in Shari\u2019ah is confined to the tangible objects only. They contend that there is no precedent in the Holy Qur\u2019an, in Sunnah or in the juristic views of the Muslim jurists where an intangible object has been subject of private ownership or to sale and purchase. They further argue that “knowledge” in Islam is not the property of an individual, nor can he prevent others from acquiring knowledge, whereas the concept of “intellectual property” leads to monopoly of some individuals over knowledge, which can never be accepted by Islam.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the other hand, some contemporary scholars take the concept of “intellectual property” as acceptable in Shariah. They say that there is no <\/span>express provision in the Holy Qur\u2019an or in the Sunnah which restricts ownership to tangible objects only. There are several intangible rights accepted and maintained by the Shariah, and there are several instances where such intangible rights have been transferred to others for some monetary consideration.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They contend that the concept of “intellectual property” does in no way restrict the scope of knowledge, because the law of “copyright” does not prevent a person from reading a book or from availing of a new invention for his individual benefit. On the contrary, the law of “copyright” prevents a person from the wide commercial use of an object on the ground that the person who has invented it by his mental labour is more entitled to its commercial benefits, and any other person should not be allowed to reap the monetary fruits of the former\u2019s labour without his permission. The author of a book who has worked day and night to write a book is obviously the best person who deserves its publication for commercial purposes. If every other person is allowed to publish the book without the author\u2019s permission, it will certainly violate the rights of the author, and the law of copyright protects him from such violation of rights.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Both of these views have their own arguments. I have analysed the arguments of both sides in my Arabic treatise “Discussion of Contemporary Legal Issues” and have preferred the second view over the first, meaning thereby that a book can be registered under the Copyright Act, and the right of its publication can also be transferred to some other person for a monetary consideration.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
