Addressing the Phenomenon of Unconstructive Criticism in Social Media through Foundation and Application according to the Sciences of the Principles of Islamic Jurisprudence

Abstract

The research addresses the phenomenon of non-constructive criticism in social media, both foundationally and practically, according to the sciences of the principles of Islamic jurisprudence and dialectical principles. The study utilized the inductive method to gather scientific material and the analytical method to analyze it. The study concluded that handling news or information involves verifying the credibility of the information through comprehending the statement, evidence and context, reality, or questioning. Then, it involves systematically classifying the information by determining the semantic degree, verifying the correct use of the information, and the accuracy of its interpretation. The study also highlighted the main sources of necessary criticism in social media, which are represented by Islamic law, human ethics, laws that do not contradict Sharia texts, and general and specific customs. It included the main etiquettes of criticism and the primary outcomes of criticism, applying the aforementioned concepts to examples from Sharia texts, Islamic jurisprudence, and social media. The study recommended paying attention to the practical study of criticism in the principles of Islamic jurisprudence and dialectical principles, highlighting Principles of Jurisprudence as a humanistic thinking methodology, and studying the methods of dialectical scholars in criticism.
