This article addresses an academic issue regarding how the integration between hadith and science is manifested in the digital space, particularly through the use of immersive technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR). In this context, this study analyzes digital content that represents the integration of hadith and science, focusing on several social media accounts on Instagram and TikTok, namely @relijenius, @santai_tapisampai, @edimujiono19, and @vrjourney.indo. John Haught's taxonomy is used to map the relationship patterns between religion and science within this content, including four relationship models: conflict, contrast, contact, and confirmation. This study specifically highlights two dominant approaches: confirmation and contact. The analysis reveals that the confirmation approach is more prominent, reflected in narratives that seek to affirm religious texts through scientific justification. Meanwhile, the contact approach is evident through the use of 5D VR technology, which enables the visualization of religious experiences in an intense and contextual manner. These findings suggest that the integration of hadith and science in the digital ecosystem tends to be practical rather than conceptual, and oriented toward the re-mediation of religious narratives through contemporary language and technology. In this sense, Haught’s typology not only serves as a classification framework but also as a reflective tool for understanding the epistemological dynamics in the production of digital religious knowledge.
