| Summary: | The emergence of social networking sites, most notably Facebook has phenomenal in this postmodern era. The nature
of this networking which allows connection to society at large, has affected all levels of society not excluding Muslim
family institutions. Although the existence of such sites carries with it number of advantages, the drawbacks this social
network is causing should not be overlooked. Islam as a comprehensive religion provides guidance for all aspects of
life including utilizing modern technology. This paper aim is to define the benefits and harms (maslahah and
mafsadah) of Facebook in relation to family institution and identify solutions from maqasidic perspective. Through
qualitative method, data and information gained, the data will be further analyzed through critical reasoning of
current related issues weighed from the perspective of Maqāsid Al-Sharī'ah. In addition, the research proposes some
Sharī'ah guidelines on Facebook. Ultimately, the finding proves is that Facebook brings more harm to family
institutions than benefits. Based on that, the study proposes to Muslims ways to conform with Maqasid al-Sharfah, in
order to attain prosperity in this worldly life and the hereafter. |
