Abstract

The development of social media has changed the character of family relationships by presenting various forms of digital interaction that affect communication, trust, commitment, and the quality of relationships in family life. Phenomena such as digital infidelity, cyber intimacy, oversharing, and the increasing intensity of virtual interactions show that the challenges faced by Muslim families in the digital age cannot be adequately explained through pre-developed family approaches. This research aims to develop the Digital Family Integrity Framework (DFIF) as a conceptual framework that integrates the principles of Islamic Family Law, maqāṣid al-syarī'ah, and the dynamics of contemporary digital relations to strengthen the integrity of Muslim families. This research is a normative legal research with a conceptual framework development orientation that uses a conceptual approach, a legislative approach, and a maqāṣid al-syarī'ah approach. The analysis was carried out through doctrinal analysis and conceptual synthesis of various legal sources and scientific literature related to Islamic Family Law, digital transformation, and family resilience. This research produced the Digital Family Integrity Framework (DFIF) which consists of five main dimensions, namely Digital Loyalty, Islamic Digital Communication Ethics, Family Privacy Protection, Online–Offline Relational Balance, and Digital Literacy. These five dimensions form a preventive conceptual model to maintain commitment, trust, ethics, and quality of Muslim family relationships in the digital space. This research contributes to the development of the study of Islamic Family Law by offering a preventive paradigm that complements the developed approach to family resilience and provides a conceptual foundation for empirical research and family policy development in the digital era.
