Controls of Social Media and Their Positive Doctrinal Effects

Abstract

This research titled " Social media regulations and their positive doctrinal effects in accordance
to the Islamic Sharia," addresses the concept of a modern media, namely, different social
media sites and the importance of these sites to individuals and communities. It also highlights
the motives for using these different sites like Facebook, WhatsApp and Telegram, among
others, describing the legitimate controls that every member of society must adhere to and
observe while sitting at these sites, which have invaded most homes.
The paper also explored the positive doctrinal impacts of social media sites, and how these
sites contributed to the dissemination and correction of the Islamic doctrine compatible with
the Quran and Sunna through diverse ways and groups, as well as by combating the false
beliefs and exposing them to the public, especially young people, and how such sites
contributed to the consolidation of the relationship between members of one community and
the establishment of a cohesive and interdependent society. The researcher adopted the
analytical descriptive approach based on the study of the phenomenon where she collected the
scientific material from its various sources, and then analyzed it to achieve the desired results
and devise and extract meanings and benefits from them.
