الزِّينةُ الرَّقميَّة وأحكامُها الفقهيَّة المعاصرة [Digital Adornment and Its Contemporary Jurisprudential Rulings]

Abstract

This research aims to examine the concept of digital adornment, survey the opinions of scholars regarding traditional adornment, and apply these discussions to the digital reality. It further seeks to outline its regulations, types, tools, motives for use, and to determine its legal ruling. The significance of this study lies in enriching contemporary jurisprudence with a new topic that has not been thoroughly explored, as well as in organizing the behaviors of users of digital adornment particularly in light of its rapid spread and the absence of clear and systematic Sharia-based regulations. The research is structured into an introduction, two chapters, and a conclusion. The first chapter addresses the definition of digital adornment, its ruling, and its regulations. The second chapter discusses its types, tools, motives, and jurisprudential ruling. The conclusion presents the most important findings reached by the study. The study endeavors to provide a Sharia framework and guidelines for the use of digital adornment. The methodology adopted is descriptive, inductive, and comparative. Among the most significant findings is that the preponderant ruling regarding the use of digital adornment is prohibition if it involves altering the creation of Allah, deceiving or misleading others, or if it constitutes imitation of the opposite gender or imitation of non-Muslims.
