Abstract

Contemporary Islamic environmental discourse increasingly draws on classical theological and exegetical traditions, yet the methodological legitimacy of translating premodern concepts into modern ecological categories remains contested. This study critically examines how selected concepts in Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī’s Mafātīḥ al-Ghayb khalīfah (Q. 2:30–31), amānah (Q. 33:72), mīzān (Q. 55:7–9), fasād (Q. 30:41), and isrāf (Q. 7:31) can be ecologically reconstructed and compared with the ecotheological policies of Indonesia’s Ministry of Religious Affairs. Using qualitative library research and policy analysis, the study employs hermeneutic reading, content analysis, and thematic comparison. The findings show that these concepts contain theological, ethical, and cosmological elements that permit ecological reinterpretation, although they were not originally formulated as a systematic environmental theory. Contemporary categories such as theocentrism, anthropocentrism, ecocentrism, and cosmocentrism are therefore treated as analytical lenses rather than as al-Rāzī’s own conceptual vocabulary. Comparison with Eco-Friendly Mosques, Forest Waqf, tree-planting initiatives, and the National Ecotheology Policy Document 2025–2029 reveals normative correspondence but not direct historical influence, conceptual identity, policy causation, or institutional effectiveness. The study concludes that the relationship between al-Rāzī’s exegesis and contemporary ecotheological policy is interpretively constructed, normatively comparable, and marked by significant historical and conceptual discontinuities.

Abstract

This article examines how digital fatwas transform religious authority in contemporary Muslim societies. The study begins from the problem that Islamic legal guidance is increasingly accessed through websites, social media, question-and-answer portals, searchable archives, short videos, and algorithmically mediated platforms, yet existing scholarship often treats online fatwas mainly as instruments of dissemination rather than as mediated forms of authority. Using a qualitative digital religion design, the study combines digital content analysis, netnographic observation, and thematic analysis of publicly accessible digital fatwa materials from institutional and non-institutional platforms. The findings show that digital fatwas reconfigure Islamic authority in four major ways. First, formal fatwa institutions become platformized through online consultation systems, searchable archives, thematic classification, anonymity, and digital service infrastructures. Second, the classical relation between the mufti and the questioner is transformed into networked Muslim publics, where fatwas circulate, are interpreted, and gain authority through wider audience participation. Third, digital media reshape Islamic legal reasoning by translating complex juristic deliberation into media-friendly formats marked by brevity, clarity, visibility, and shareability. Fourth, digital fatwas point toward future challenges of ethics, governance, artificial intelligence, privacy, accountability, and public trust. The article contributes theoretically by integrating Islamic legal studies, digital religion, and mediatization theory, arguing that contemporary fatwa authority must be understood through both classical juristic categories and digital media infrastructures.
