This study examines the discursive contestation surrounding the hadith al-Ḥamw al-Mawt (The in-law is Death) within Indonesian digital Islam. Drawing on Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis approach and Campbell's theory of Digital Religion, the study analyzes the Instagram-based da‘wah content produced by the account @ismaelkholilie as a site where religious meaning and authority are actively constructed and contested. It argues that the hadith is recontextualized from a classical moral injunction into a digital narrative addressing infidelity, family ethics, and mahram boundaries in contemporary Muslim households. The findings demonstrate that social media functions not merely as a medium of religious dissemination but as a discursive arena in religious authority negotiated and reconfigured through digital credibility, algorithmic visibility, and audience interactivity. By situating Indonesia as a critical site of digital religious practice, this article contributes to broader debates on religious authority and meaning-making in Digital Islam.Keywords: Digital hadith, infidelity, al-Ḥamw al-Mawt, religious authority, digital religion

The development of social media has transformed the way people access, understand, and disseminate religious teachings. This transformation has also revived classical Islamic theological discourses in forms that are more accessible to contemporary digital society. One of the most relevant debates concerns the doctrines of Jabariyah and Qadariyah regarding the relationship between divine will and human freedom. This study aims to analyze the representation of Jabariyah and Qadariyah doctrines on social media and their influence on digital society. The novelty of this research lies in examining the transformation of classical Islamic theological thought and its representation within the algorithm-driven ecosystem of contemporary social media. This study employs a library research method with a qualitative-descriptive approach. Data were collected from primary and secondary sources related to Islamic theology, social media, and the transformation of religious thought in the digital era. The findings reveal that Jabariyah is represented through fatalistic narratives emphasizing divine predestination, while Qadariyah is represented through motivational, productivity-oriented, and self-improvement content highlighting human agency and responsibility. These representations influence digital literacy, social behavior, learning culture, and public participation in digital spaces. Therefore, a balanced understanding between reliance on God and human effort is essential to ensure that social media is utilized constructively and responsibly.

The Melukat ritual, a Balinese Hindu spiritual purification practice that has recently gained popularity as “healing” content on TikTok, has become a site of religious identity contestation among Indonesian Muslims. This study examines how the hadith on Tashabbuh (“Whoever imitates a people is one of them”) is negotiated in the comments section of the content “Muslim but Practicing Melukat in Bali?” by the account @kadamsidik00. Previous studies have tended to separate analyses of offline Hindu-Islamic cultural syncretism from theological debates and rarely connect them to the dynamics of digital platforms. Existing scholarship has paid limited attention to how classical doctrines such as Tashabbuh are affectively and algorithmically negotiated within TikTok comment sections. Drawing on a four-phase non-participatory netnography (investigation, interaction, immersion, integration) of 200 selected comments, the findings reveal that the Contra cluster predominates (49%) characterized by public regret and repentance, followed by the Ambivalent cluster (23%) that actively seeks fiqh clarification, and the Pro/Acculturative cluster that employs local cultural analogies. Creators establish authority through selective likes and minimalist responses. Theoretically, these findings expand the frameworks of “Networked Religion” (Campbell) and “Cyber-Islamic Environments” (Bunt) by introducing algorithmic religious authority and affective identity negotiation as mechanisms for negotiating Islamic identity in the algorithmic era of the Global South. This study demonstrates that TikTok functions as a dynamic arena where religious boundaries are continuously reproduced and negotiated through affective interactions and platform logic.
