Abstract

The proliferation of digital technologies and social media in IndonesiaÔÇöhome to the world's largest Muslim populationÔÇöhas introduced complex ethical challenges that exceed the boundaries of classical Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh). This article critically examines how the rise of online narcissistic behaviorsÔÇöcharacterized by excessive self-presentation, validation-seeking, and performative religiosityÔÇöreshapes ethical consciousness and disrupts normative Islamic frameworks. Drawing on Relational Identity Theory as an analytical lens, the study explores the tensions between individual autonomy and communal responsibility within digital spheres. Methodologically, this research employs a qualitative content analysis of online interactions, complemented by in-depth interviews with Islamic scholars and digital media experts. Findings reveal that digital platforms function not merely as communicative tools but as contested ethical arenas wherein Islamic norms are negotiated, reinterpreted, and at times subverted. In response, the article proposes a conceptual model of ÔÇ£Digital Fiqh Governance,ÔÇØ which seeks to integrate classical Islamic ethical principles with the emergent moral logics of digital life. This model offers practical and normative guidance for fostering responsible digital conduct grounded in Islamic values. Ultimately, the study argues that the unregulated expansion of online narcissism necessitates a reconfiguration of┬áfiqh-based ethical governance to safeguard moral integrity in contemporary Muslim societies.
