What is the ruling on monopoly in Islamic satellite channels?
If the monopolization of Islamic satellite channels refers to broadcasting and publishing rights or the right to encrypt channels, then this falls under the category of special intellectual rights of their owners. They are permitted to exchange these rights for compensation, and these rights must be protected and respected, because these channels expend enormous efforts and funds. Therefore, they have the right to prevent the utilization of their programs and products except with their permission or with mutually agreed-upon compensation.
