As technology advances through systematic innovation and data-driven refinement, AI technologies have emerged as influential socio-technical systems capable of simulating aspects of human reasoning, analysis, and decision-making. Although contemporary research highlights the potential of AI-assisted fatwa systems to enhance efficiency, automate knowledge retrieval, and support large-scale question-answering platforms, their introduction into Islamic jurisprudence raises critical concerns regarding authority, validity, and ethical limits. Islamic legal theory maintains that a fatwa is a fatwa act of ijtihad rooted in contextual awareness, moral accountability, and human intentionality, which are qualities that cannot be replicated autonomously by AI. Through multidisciplinary analysis that integrates technological studies, AI system design, usul al-fiqh, and institutional fatwa practices, this study identifies three core dimensions that shape the role of AI in fatwa issuance. First, foundational fiqh parameters emphasise that AI may function as an auxiliary expert tool for data organisation, precedent retrieval, and scenario analysis. At the same time, authoritative rulings must remain under human juristic supervision. Second, significant technological ethics risks, including algorithmic bias, data integrity issues, opacity, and automation bias, may compromise the reliability and Shariah validity of AI-generated outputs. Third, the study proposes an integrated Shariah technological framework that outlines governance structures, data standards, oversight mechanisms, and human-in-theloop validation to ensure that AI tools operate within Shariahcompliant boundaries. Overall, the findings conclude that AI can enhance the accessibility, consistency, and efficiency of fatwa services, provided it is integrated within a principled framework that upholds Maqasid al-Shari’ah, ensures transparency, and safeguards the epistemic integrity of Islamic legal reasoning. 2026-02-25T00:25:51Z 2026-02-25T00:25:51Z 2025 text::journal::journal article Ahmad Fikri Che Yusoff &Mohd Harifadilah Rosidi.
