<![CDATA[This research aimed to analyze the position of copyright as a waqf object from the perspective of fiqh and positive law. This study was literature research with a normative approach. The data collection technique used in this study is the documentation technique. At the same time, the analysis technique in this study used descriptive inductive techniques. The results of this study indicated that copyright is protected by Sharia law. The owner has the right and authority over his or her copyright and is protected by the rules and laws. Copyright as a waqf object is permitted by Islamic law as long as the requirements for a waqf object are met. This is reinforced by the decision of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) number 1 MUNAS/VII/5/2005, which allows Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) as a waqf object. The permissibility of copyright as a waqf object is also supported by positive law, i.e. Law No. 41 of 2004 concerning Waqf and Government Regulation No. 42 of 2006. In addition, copyright as part of IPRs fulfils the criteria of a waqf object, i.e. a valuable asset permissible by Sharia law whose ownership rights are transferrable. Accordingly, IPRs are legally used as a waqf object, and such rights should not be violated.]]>
