Artificial Intelligence and Value Transformation in Islamic Societies: A Socio-Fiqh Study

Abstract

The Islamic world is experiencing a rapid transformation in adopting artificial intelligence technologies, which has led to new patterns of value behavior within Islamic communities, reflecting on concepts such as: privacy, justice, responsibility, and moral decision-making. The problem highlighted by this study is that the value transformation caused by these technologies occurs outside traditional jurisprudential frameworks, which necessitates an approach to foundationalism that integrates the analytical social dimension with the jurisprudential and purposes-based methodology. The study aims to monitor the most significant value transformations caused by artificial intelligence and to clarify the extent of their compatibility or conflict with the Islamic ethical system. The study also compares the global principles of AI governance, such as accountability, transparency, and fairness, with the Islamic value system, to propose a comprehensive framework that balances technological advancement with legal compliance. The study adopts a foundational-social methodology and is based on the analysis of legal texts, overarching goals, and decisions of legal councils, in addition to reviewing global ethical policies for artificial intelligence. It concludes with the necessity of establishing a renewed legal-ethical framework to keep pace with value transformations, and to create a guiding jurisprudential code for decision-makers in the Islamic world, ensuring the disciplined use of artificial intelligence without violating ethical constants .
