Abstract

Maqāṣid al-shariah, which refers to the aim or goal intended by Islamic law to benefit humankind, is closely related to the issuance of fatwas. This condition raises the question of whether maqāṣid al-shariah is fully considered in the fatwa issuance process in Malaysia. The methodology used in issuing fatwas in Malaysia is unique as the Shafie school is the primary reference, and the methodology aims to create a systematic fatwa management system in preserving unity. However, the approach does not generally embrace maqāṣid al-shariah, such as freedom, and favors an easier option (al-taysīr) to examine diverse views outside the Shafie school. This condition raises questions about the capability of the sectarian methodology practiced in the current issuance of fatwas and whether the fatwa methodology tied to the Shafie school can manifest maqāṣid al-shariah in every law. This paper aims to examine the achievement of maqāṣid al-shariah in the fatwa methodology that contains the strong tradition and influence of the Shafie school. Through inductive, deductive, and comparative document research, this study revealed three main findings. First, maqāṣid al-shariah in the fatwa methodology in Malaysia is applied through shariah arguments parallel with the uṣul al-fiqh framework. Second, the Malaysian fatwa methodology that references the final view of the Shafie school is intended to achieve uniformity and unity among the Muslim-majority community in Malaysia, which coincides with maqṣad wihdatul ummah. Third, when maṣlahah is not achieved in certain circumstances, views of schools other than the Shafie school can be consulted.

Abstract

The rise of mobile health technologies has created new pathways for enhancing psychological and spiritual well-being. This research examines how mHealth can be aligned with Islamic psychospiritual principles to offer a comprehensive approach to mental health. By integrating digital solutions with Islamic values, mHealth applications can provide tailored mental health support and enhance spiritual resilience. Yet, these new technologies present concerns such as ethical management, safeguarding data privacy, and the risk of trivializing spiritual practices. This study examines these issues while showcasing the potential of mHealth as a means to connect traditional healthcare with faith-centered methods. The research highlights the need for appropriate digital strategies that engage religious leaders, policymakers, and mental health experts. Further studies should aim to create genuine, trust-centric frameworks that support accessibility, inclusivity, and responsible application of technology. Effectively merging mHealth with Islamic psychospiritual principles can transform mental health support, promoting a balanced and meaningful sense of well-being within Muslim communities across the globe.
