Abstract

Social media plays an important role in the spread of Islam around the world today and has been recognized for its use in the Islamic world. However, the use of social media in disseminating fatwas is still not widespread. Thus, this study aims to highlight previous studies related to the use of social media in the dissemination of fatwas and its impact on the acceptance of fatwas among the community. The results show that the use of social media in disseminating fatwa information and explanation of fatwas can increase the acceptance of fatwas among the Malaysian Muslim community. At the end of the study, the researchers suggested that more empirical studies could be done to confirm the relationship between the use of social media and the acceptance of fatwas among the Malaysian Muslim community
