The phenomenon of speak up on social media has increasingly developed as a means for victims of injustice to express their experiences and seek public support. On the other hand, this phenomenon raises ethical concerns regarding the boundaries between freedom of expression and the prohibition of exposing others' faults in public spaces. This study aims to reinterpret Qur'an Surah An-Nisa' verse 148 through Fazlur Rahman's Double Movement theory in order to formulate ethical principles for speak up practices on social media. This study employs a qualitative library research method through the examination of classical and contemporary Qur'anic commentaries and Fazlur Rahman's hermeneutical framework. The findings show that QS. An-Nisa' verse 148 provides moral legitimacy for victims of injustice to disclose their experiences as an effort to seek justice, provided that such expression remains within ethical boundaries. The study identifies five moral principles: protection of victims and the pursuit of justice, proportionality in conveying information, balance between freedom of expression and social responsibility, prioritization of patience and forgiveness, and responsible communication. These principles contribute to an ethical framework for speak up practices on social media oriented toward justice, truthfulness, civility, social responsibility, and good intentions.
