The dissemination of amoral and value-free content by digital influencers triggered a moral crisis among adolescents, particularly in the context of social media consumption. This study examined how Islamic law, specifically through the maqashid sharia approach, viewed the phenomenon of negative content dissemination and its impact on the moral decline of the younger generation. The study aimed to analyze the legal status of content creators who promoted amoral behavior, the responsibility of adolescents as consumers of such content, and the implementation of the principle of hifz al-nasl in the digital era. This research employed a normative qualitative method with a literature-based approach, referring to both classical and contemporary Islamic legal sources. The findings indicated that the dissemination of destructive content was categorized as fasad and fell under the prohibition of ifsa al-fahisha (the spread of immorality), which Islamic law strongly condemned. Adolescents who passively consumed such content were also not free from moral and legal responsibility. The study concluded that protecting future generations required collective action from the legal system, society, and regulatory mechanisms to ensure that digital spaces did not undermine the moral integrity of the Muslim community. When interpreted contextually, the principle of hifz al-nasl provided a comprehensive framework for safeguarding intergenerational morality in response to the challenges of digital reality
