abstract: 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.
