Journal Information

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 advances high-impact empirical and theoretical research at the intersection of Sharia, Islamic legal reasoning, and digital transformation, with particular attention to Southeast Asian Muslim societies. Positioned within global debates on law, religion, and technology, JDSCLT critically examines how digital infrastructures, algorithmic governance, and platform ecologies reconfigure the production, authority, and ethical horizons of contemporary Islamic legal thought, addressing the structural and epistemic consequences of digital modernity for socio-legal life.

JDSCLT promotes interdisciplinary and theoretically ambitious scholarship integrating Islamic legal studies with socio-legal theory, digital humanities, media and communication studies, anthropology, political sociology, and area studies. Its scope encompasses digital Sharia and algorithmic reasoning, reconfigured religious authority and platform-based fatwa ecosystems, digitally mediated contestations over family law, gender justice, minority rights, halal governance, environmental ethics, and public morality, as well as cyber regulation, data governance, and platform moderation within Sharia-informed ethical frameworks. Aimed at an international audience of scholars, advanced researchers, and policy experts, the journal prioritizes analytically rigorous contributions that theorize the institutional, normative, and ethical transformations of Islamic law in digitally mediated environments, in full adherence to international research ethics and academic integrity standards.
