Abstract

The aspect of virality in the dissemination of religious teachings in digital media is often accepted at face value without undergoing a verification process. This study aims to identify the relationship between the validity of Hadith as the basis for establishing Islamic law and its connection to the aspect of virality on social media. This qualitative research using content analysis approaches utilises data from various scientific literature on Hadith verification and the dissemination of Islamic teachings in digital media. The results of the study show that Hadith epistemology emphasises scientific validity through genealogical proof of sanad and criticism of matan. Meanwhile, social media emphasises aspects of virality, popularity, and emotional impact. This configuration can lead to a variety of complexities in the understanding and acceptance of Hadith found in social media as the basis for establishing Islamic law. The contribution of this study emphasises the importance of theological validity literacy in responding to the dissemination of religious teachings in digital media.
