Abstract

Digital platforms have become pivotal in shaping religious legal discourse. This study examines the construction of legal humanism in the digital fatwas of Buya Yahya regarding LGBT issues on YouTube. Analyzing fourteen videos from Al-Bahjah TV, the research employs a maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah framework, specifically focusing on ḥifz al-nafs (protection of life). The analysis reveals that while Buya Yahya views LGBT as a curable illness, he vehemently rejects social exclusion. Instead, he advocates for a compassionate approach, emphasizing healing, family preservation, and inclusive embracement over condemnation. This stance prioritizes humanity, acting as a counter-narrative to rigid conservative religious views often found online. This study concludes that Buya Yahya effectively utilizes digital media to mainstream legal humanism, transforming public perception by presenting an Islamic jurisprudence that safeguards human dignity. These findings highlight the potential of digital fatwas in fostering a more humane and moderate religious atmosphere in Indonesia.

Abstract

Digital transformation has made the internet an arena for contests over religious authority in Indonesia, particularly in the discourse on Islamic family law. This study investigates the construction of narratives on husband-wife relations on three mainstream Islamic websites: Muslim.or.id, Rumaysho.com, and NU Online. Using a qualitative content analysis within a legal paradigm, this study examines ideological polarization between conservative and moderate views. The findings show that Muslim.or.id and Rumaysho.com represent a conservative-textualist paradigm that perpetuates patriarchal hierarchy and the domestication of women, which often conflicts with the spirit of equality in positive law. In contrast, NU Online articulates a moderate-contextualist paradigm that promotes the principles of partnership (mubādalah) and gender justice. This study concludes that the Indonesian Islamic digital landscape is marked by a fierce battle between textual orthodoxy and contextual reinterpretation, which has significant implications for public perceptions of family norms and gender justice.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of social media has transformed Islamic norm production by shifting representations of Muslim family life from private domestic settings to digitally mediated public arenas. While existing studies on Muslim influencers largely emphasize piety performance and religious commodification, little attention has been paid to how Islamic marital ethics are renegotiated through everyday online representations. This qualitative netnographic study analyzes the Instagram accounts of Indonesian Muslim influencers Alfysaga and Fatmasarizar through the lens of mubādalah (reciprocity) to examine how gender roles are visually and narratively constructed. The findings reveal a participatory marital model grounded in shared domestic responsibilities, collaborative parenting, recognition of personal autonomy, and the affirmation of women’s emotional agency, subtly challenging hierarchical readings of qiwāmah. The article argues that Instagram operates as a site of digital sharia negotiation, where Islamic family norms are interactively interpreted and recalibrated. By integrating digital ethnography with Islamic legal-ethical analysis, this study contributed to Digital Sharia scholarship by demonstrating how mediated visibility reshapes contemporary Muslim marital authority.
Reassessing Machine-Mediated Fatwā Authority: The Epistemic Limits of the AiDeen Chatbot in Light of Shāfi‘ī Uṣūl al-Fiqh Nabilah Rohadatul Aisyah

Abstract

The expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) as a digital religious assistant, such as AiDeen on the Muslim Pro platform, marks a shift in the landscape of fatwa authority in the digital age and raises epistemological questions regarding its methodological legitimacy. This article aims to evaluate the validity of AiDeen's religious responses within the framework of Shāfi‘ī uṣūl al-fiqh, emphasizing the aspects of mufti qualifications and the procedure of istinbāṭ al-aḥkām. This study uses a descriptive-evaluative qualitative approach, grounded in a literature review and an interactive simulation of ten fiqh issues. The findings show that AiDeen operates at an informative-descriptive level without demonstrating complete fiqh reasoning. Methodologically, weaknesses were identified in the semantic analysis of arguments, inconsistencies in the hierarchy of legal sources, the absence of a valid tarjīḥ mechanism, and the absence of a dimension of reflective awareness and ethical responsibility as prerequisites for fatwa authority. This article contributes to formulating normative parameters for evaluating algorithm-based legal products and affirms the epistemic limits of AI in contemporary Islamic legal discourse, so that legal authority must remain rooted in methodological integrity and the accountability of scholars.

Abstract

The phenomenon of fatherlessness has shifted from the domestic sphere to the digital public space, where social media serves as a medium for articulating personal experiences and fostering collective solidarity. This article analyzes this phenomenon through the lens of Qawā‘id Fiqhīyah to offer a normative framework that transcends the dominance of conventional psychological and sociological approaches. This study argues that the absence of the father’s role can be understood as a non-material social harm (ḍarar) that has an impact on the protection of the soul (ḥifẓ al-nafs) and reason (ḥifẓ al-‘aql). The results of the analysis show that applying the principles of al-ḍarar yuzāl and dar’ al-mafāsid muqaddam ‘alā jalb al-maṣāliḥ confirms the urgency of mitigating and providing psychosocial support, including through digital platforms, as part of efforts to reduce harm. At the same time, the principle of al-‘ādah al-muḥakkamah provides legitimacy for the practice of digital solidarity as a form of contemporary social adaptation. However, this legitimacy remains limited by the principle of non-maleficence (lā ḍarar wa lā ḍirār) to prevent the commodification of trauma and the reproduction of new harm. This article concludes that Qawā‘id Fiqhīyah provides a contextual and comprehensive ethical framework for responding to family crises amid an ever-evolving digital ecosystem.
