Summary/Abstract: Today, when digital transformation is progressing rapidly, the digital product market is also forming. It is seen that digital products are used, valued and circulated in the market in many sectors. In fact, as the effect of the rapid progress of the digital world, many university candidates have put software engineering on their agenda and put it at the top of their choices. In the digital sector, where such an economic, social, political and technological environment is formed, digital products are bought and sold in various ways and large capitals enter the market. It comes to the fore whether a product that does not have a physical existence, that cannot be touched or seen with the naked eye, in other words, whether the asset will be accepted as a property of Islam. Because Muslim societies are also in a dynamism in both the metaverse and the NFT world, where digital products are bought and sold. They also invest large sums in the digital world. However, Muslim societies cannot freely use every product or thing that exists as a commodity. In order for Muslim societies to use something as property, it must be "muntefeu'n-bih" or, in other words, "mal-ı mutakavvim". In this study, the definition of the concept of property in Islamic law will be revealed. Thus, starting from the characteristics of the concept of goods, digital products will be compared and an opinion will be expressed accordingly. While making this evaluation, digital products will be evaluated in general, while all digital products will not be considered separately.
