Abstract

The development of digital technology has expanded access to the interpretation of the Qur'an through various online platforms. Although it provides opportunities for the dissemination of Islamic knowledge, this condition also poses challenges related to the validity of sources, scientific authority, and ethics in the dissemination of religious information. This research aims to analyze the role of epistemic responsibility and digital information ethics in the contemporary interpretation of the Qur'an. The research uses a qualitative approach through literature analysis on the study of interpretation, epistemology, and ethics of digital information. The results show that digital transformation expands participation in interpretation production, but also increases the risk of non-methodological interpretations. Therefore, the integration of classical interpretation principles with digital information ethics is necessary to maintain scientific integrity and responsibility in the interpretation of the Qur'an in the digital age
