description: This study examines the construction of religious authority  through the perspectives of two prominent figures, Ali Jum`ahand  Yusuf al-Qaradhawi.The primary aim is to comparatively analyze  their religious authority, use of new media, and their fatwas. The rise  of modernity has challenged the traditional role of the ulama, making  their position less autonomous. However, as a means to maintain and  even strengthen their authority, many ulama have used technological  advancements, using modern media to disseminate fatwas and  guidance to the wider public. Both Ali Jumah and Yusuf al-Qaradhawi  exemplify this trend, competing to influence the interpretation of  religious doctrines and symbols in an effort to assert their respective  authorities. Their rivalry became especially pronounced during the  Arab Spring, notably during the Egyptian revolution, where both  figures took opposing positions.  This study addresses several key questions: How did Ali Jum`ah  and Yusuf al-Qaradhawi construct their religious authority through  new media? Why did their religious authority resonate with their  audiences? And to what extent did new media enhance their religious  influence? The research combines both library and field research,  utilizing a public sphere approach. Data were analyzed using  qualitative methods, specifically ideal-type analysis.  Drawing on the theoretical frameworks of authority, new media,  and fatwa issuance, this study reveals how both figures used modern  media platforms to bolster their religious authority. Ali Jum`ah built  his religious authority through new media when he led Dar al-Ifta. He  transformed Dar al-Ifta into a modern global institution based on new  media. Meanwhile, al-Qaradawi built his religious authority through  new media by collaborating with experts and various professionals in  the media field, such as journalists, editors, publishers, television  presenters and managers of media institutions. One of them is through  the Qatar-based al-Jazeera TV channel with its network that can be  accepted by the Gulf countries. Both use new media as a strategy toexpand the reach of authority to become global muftis. For Ali Jum`ah,  transforming Dar al-Ifta into a modern global institution based on new  media that goes beyond the boundaries of location and time makes his  fatwas delocalized. Meanwhile, Yusuf al-Qaradawi is a global mufti  figure, his fatwas and ideas have influenced audiences in various parts  of the world through satellite television (al-Jazeera) and his website,  as exemplified bywww.islamonline.net and www.al-qaradawi.net.  For Ali Jum`ah and Yusuf al-Qaradhawi, new media played a  crucial role in expanding their religious authority. Both recognized  that disseminating fatwas online allowed for a wider and more  immediate audience. In responding to the Arab Spring, both figures  utilized their religious knowledge—publicly and privately—to either  counter or legitimize the Egyptian coup. The power of new media  enabled both ulama to mobilize large masses, thus further cementing  their authority.
