Abstract

In the context of Indonesia’s digital public sphere, Islamic fatwas disseminated through mainstream media play a pivotal role in shaping religious narratives. This study investigates the actualization of religious moderation within Islamic fatwas published by Republika Online, a prominent media outlet known for its Islamic orientation. The research aims to analyze how the values of religious moderation—as defined by Indonesia’s Ministry of Religious Affairs—are reflected in fatwa content, particularly in the areas of national commitment, tolerance, anti-discrimination, and cultural accommodation. This study employs a qualitative-descriptive design, combining media text analysis with field research and applies Teun A. van Dijk’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA)framework to unpack ideological structures behind fatwa discourse. The findings reveal that Republika’s fatwas tend to support religious moderation, especially in relation to national and anti-violence commitments. However, indicators such as cultural inclusivity and the recognition of latent forms of discrimination are frequently underrepresented. Furthermore, references to diverse Islamic legal traditions and local wisdom remain limited. This study contributes to understanding the dynamics of Islamic discourse in media and highlights the strategic role of fatwas in advancing religious moderation. It also offers critical insight for policymakers and media practitioners seeking to strengthen inclusive and context-sensitive religious communication.

Abstract

This study examines the role and position of religion in the Rencong Telang customary conflict in Kerinci Regency, Jambi, which has led to the dualism of customary institutions and the commodification of religious symbols. The research highlights two key concerns: first, the crisis of acculturation between Islam and local traditions; and second, the instrumentalization of religion as a commodity in power contestations. Employing a qualitative approach, this study collects data through in-depth interviews, participant observations, and document analysis, which are subsequently analyzed using an interpretive-descriptive method. The findings reveal that the customary conflict in Rencong Telang emerged as a consequence of the declining authority of religious institutions, rendering them incapable of functioning as mediators in resolving social disputes. This crisis threatens the long-established integration of Islam and adat, embodied in the philosophy of adat bersendi syara’, syara’ bersendi Kitabullah. Moreover, in the absence of religious authority, Islamic values are increasingly commodified as a tool for gaining influence and legitimacy in customary disputes. This research contributes to the academic discourse on religious acculturation by offering a critical perspective on the vulnerability of religious institutions in conflict situations. Future studies should explore the broader socio-political implications of religious commodification and its impact on indigenous cultural resilience.
