Abstract

Muslim communities in Europe increasingly face complex tensions between religious identity, citizenship, social integration, and the protection of religious freedom. Islamophobia, discrimination, contestation over religious symbols, and debates concerning Muslim integration have exposed limitations in approaches that frame minority Muslim life solely through the binary of assimilation and religious preservation. This study examines how fiqh al-tasāmuḥ (jurisprudence of tolerance) and fiqh al-aqalliyyāt (minority jurisprudence) can be reconstructed to address these challenges while maintaining Islamic normative commitments. Employing qualitative library research, the study analyses classical and contemporary Islamic legal literature alongside scholarly studies on Muslim minorities, religious pluralism, Islamophobia, and citizenship in Europe. A normative-sociological approach is combined with Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah to assess the compatibility of minority jurisprudence with the objectives of justice, human dignity, religious freedom, social coexistence, and communal welfare. The findings demonstrate that fiqh al-tasāmuḥ provides an ethical-legal framework for managing religious and social diversity, whereas fiqh al-aqalliyyāt offers contextual legal mechanisms for Muslims living under non-Muslim majority jurisdictions. Their integration enables a shift from defensive minority adaptation toward an active jurisprudence of coexistence, citizenship, and mutual recognition. The study argues that a maqāṣid-oriented reconstruction of these two fiqh paradigms can strengthen Muslim religious identity while simultaneously supporting social integration and equal citizenship in contemporary Europe.

Abstract

The circulation of hoaxes on social media demonstrates that digital information problems concern not only factual accuracy but also moral responsibility, public benefit, communicative propriety, and the prevention of social harm. This article examines how Q. al-Hujurat [49]: 6 is interpreted and transformed into operational norms in the Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) Fatwa No. 24 of 2017 on Law and Guidelines for Social Interaction through Social Media. The study employs library research, thematic exegesis, and qualitative content analysis. Its primary sources comprise Q. al-Hujurat [49]: 6, the commentaries of al-Tabari, Ibn Kaṡir, al-Qurtubi, Tafsir Al-Misbah, and the text of MUI Fatwa No. 24 of 2017. The data were examined by identifying units of meaning, coding epistemic, ethical, procedural, and social categories, comparing exegetical positions, and mapping the transformation of the verse into fatwa provisions. The findings reveal three interpretive movements. First, tabayyun is expanded from examining a report conveyed by a problematic source into a general obligation of caution toward digital content. Second, the verse's structure – linking source, report, action, impact, and regret – Is contextualized through the examination of sanad, matn, time, place, background, and the competence of clarifying authorities. Third, factual verification is integrated with tests of benefit and public appropriateness. The study's novelty lies in formulating digital tabayyun as a layered framework encompassing source validity, content accuracy, contextual precision, public benefit, and publication worthiness. The fatwa therefore does not merely restate the verse's moral message; it operationalizes it as an ethics of producing, consuming, and distributing information in digital spaces.

Abstract

The protection of human life (ḥifẓ al-nafs) occupies a central position within Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah, yet its methodological status in contemporary Islamic legal reasoning remains insufficiently theorised. Existing maqāṣid scholarship generally presents the five essential protections as a relatively parallel framework, leaving unresolved how priorities should be determined when competing interests arise in concrete legal and ethical contexts. This article examines whether ḥifẓ al-nafs can function as a foundational principle of fatwa reasoning while preserving the normative significance of other maqāṣid. Employing a qualitative doctrinal and conceptual approach, the study critically analyses formative maqāṣid literature, contemporary reformulations, and recent scholarship on human dignity, rights, welfare, and bioethical reasoning. The analysis develops a reconstructed hierarchy in which ḥifẓ al-nafs constitutes the foundational layer, encompassing the protection of human existence, bodily integrity, dignity, and basic agency. Ḥifẓ al-dīn, ḥifẓ al-ʿaql, ḥifẓ al-nasl, and ḥifẓ al-māl are positioned as mutually reinforcing protections that sustain the conditions necessary for meaningful and socially viable human life. The categories of ḥājiyyāt and taḥsīniyyāt are subsequently reconceptualised as degrees of necessity and refinement rather than merely parallel lists of objectives. The study contributes a normative framework for resolving maqāṣid conflicts by establishing a presumptive priority for protecting human life and fundamental integrity when grave and demonstrable threats occur, while requiring proportionality, contextual assessment, and evidentiary justification in conflicts involving other interests. The proposed hierarchy is interpretive rather than a claim of classical consensus and is intended to strengthen the methodological foundations of contemporary fatwa reasoning.
