Abstract

The spread of hadith content through memes on Instagram is growing rapidly and reaching millions of Indonesian Muslim users, yet it lacks adequate scientific verification mechanisms. Memes with the hashtag #hadisnikah, which contain hadiths about marriage and women, have the potential to shape public religious understanding on a massive scale without accountability. This study aims to identify patterns of understanding of hadiths about marriage in digital memes with the hashtag #hadisnikah and their implications, and to evaluate the potential of hadith memes about marriage as marriage counseling materials for religious counselors at the Ministry of Religious Affairs. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive analytical content analysis method. Primary data were obtained through systematic documentation of accounts posting hadith memes on Instagram with the hashtag #hadisnikah, which were analyzed through a meta-analysis and evaluation of counseling potential. The results show that the pattern of hadith understanding that is formed tends to be textually literalist with narrative imbalances that emphasize women's obligations disproportionately compared to their rights, thus constructing an unequal gender representation. Another finding found that memes have great potential as a medium for marriage counseling if they are selected critically, integrated into Suscatin sessions, and supported by the production of officially verified hadith memes by the Ministry of Religion.

Abstract

The phenomenon of digital da'wah on Instagram has brought about significant changes in the transmission of hadith and the construction of Islamic legal authority among the digital generation. This study aims to analyze the forms of mediatization of hadith on Instagram, identify the shift in Islamic legal authority that it causes, and examine the transformation of religious understanding that occurs in the digital generation due to this phenomenon. This study uses a qualitative method with a content analysis approach through systematic search for hadith content using hashtags #hadishukum on Instagram as an entrance to identify and analyze accounts that actively produce hadith-based Islamic legal content. The data was analyzed using the theory of religious mediatization to see how the logic of social media affects the production, simplification, and dissemination of legal hadiths in the digital space. The results of the study show that Instagram no longer functions just as a medium for delivering da'wah, but has become an actor who shapes the way hadith is understood and used as the legitimacy of Islamic law. Legal hadiths tend to be packaged in a fragmentary, emotional, and virality-oriented manner so that they have the potential to give birth to textual and instant religious understanding. The study also found a shift in Islamic legal authority from traditional scholars to popularity-based religious influencers. This research contributes to the development of the study of hadith and contemporary Islamic law by placing digital media as an important factor in the transformation of authority and religious understanding of Muslim society in the digital era.
