<![CDATA[The phenomenon of cancel culture reflects a disruption of social control mechanisms, shifting from a deliberative process of clarification to instantaneous mass judgement that often disregards the principles of procedural justice and moral proportionality. This study responds to the dominance of sociological analyses by filling the gap in normative Islamic ethical perspectives for examining this phenomenon more comprehensively. Using a qualitative approach through non-participatory observation of the Ahmad Sahroni case and library research on Sunan Abī Dāwūd, this study compares the dynamics of digital interaction with prophetic values that constitute the foundations of Islamic social ethics.
