Institutional Repository UIN Sunan Kalijaga YogyakartaRELEVANSI HADIS TENTANG LARANGAN MEMUJI ORANG SECARA BERLEBIHAN TERHADAP FENOMENA CELEBRITY WORSHIPNIM.: 22105050067Muhammad Adib Az-ZuhdiauthorThe globalization of information through social media has expanded fans’ access to the lives of public figures and contributed to the development of celebrity worship, a form of attachment to celebrities that varies in intensity from entertainment-social and intense-personal to borderline-pathological. At higher levels of intensity, such attachment may be associated with fanaticism, consumptive behavior, imitation, and excessive emotional involvement. This study aims to address three main issues: the authenticity of the hadith concerning the prohibition of excessive praise, its interpretation based on Yusuf al-Qardhawi’s method of hadith understanding, and its contextualization within the phenomenon of celebrity worship through parasocial relationship theory. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using library research. The analysis consists of hadith tracing (takhrij), sanad comparison (i‘tibār), sanad and matn criticism, followed by the application of six principles of hadith understanding proposed by Yusuf al-Qardhawi: interpreting hadith in light of the Qur’an, collecting thematically related hadiths, reconciling apparently contradictory narrations, considering the context of the hadith, distinguishing literal and figurative meanings, and ensuring the accuracy of lexical meanings. The findings show that the hadith is authentic (ṣaḥīḥ) and may serve as authoritative evidence. It does not prohibit all forms of praise, but sets limits on praise that contains iṭrā’, or exaggeration beyond proper bounds. In the context of celebrity worship, the hadith functions as a normative boundary preventing admiration from developing into excessive glorification, while emotional attachment and its psychological effects are explained through parasocial relationship theory.297.125 Hadis2026-08-20UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA;FAKULTAS USHULUDIN DAN PEMIKIRAN ISLAMThesis
