The Journal of Digital Sharia and Contemporary Legal Thought (JDSCLT) is an international, peer-reviewed scholarly journal published by Zamzami Scholar Publishing (Sidoarjo, East Java, Indonesia). The journal provides a specialized academic platform for the study of how Islamic law is transformed within contemporary digital environments. It addresses the growing entanglement between Sharia, digital media, and technological infrastructures, focusing on how legal knowledge is produced, circulated, interpreted, and contested in increasingly networked and data-driven societies. By foregrounding empirical inquiry and theoretical rigor, JDSCLT aims to position the study of Islamic law within broader global debates on law, technology, and social change.

JDSCLT is situated at the intersection of Islamic legal studies, socio-legal research, and digital culture. It prioritizes interdisciplinary scholarship that critically examines the reconfiguration of religious authority, legal normativity, and knowledge production in digital contexts. The journal pays particular attention to Muslim societies in Southeast Asia as a dynamic sites of legal and religious transformation, while remaining open to comparative and transnational perspectives. Core areas of interest include digital mediation of Islamic legal discourse, shifts in religious authority within platform-based environments, the role of artificial intelligence and algorithmic systems in legal reasoning, digital contestations over family law, gender, and minority rights, as well as questions of platform governance, data ethics, and regulation in relation to Islamic legal frameworks.

JDSCLT emphasizes clarity of scope, methodological robustness, and scholarly contribution. The journal publishes original research articles, review articles, and critical essays that engage with contemporary academic debates on religion, law, and digital transformation. Submissions are expected to demonstrate conceptual precision, empirical grounding, and engagement with relevant scholarly literature. Contributions that are purely normative or theological without analytical and methodological depth are generally not considered. Through this approach, JDSCLT seeks to advance a rigorous and globally relevant research agenda on the intersection of Islamic law and digital modernity.
