The Relevance of Justice Principles in Islamic Law to Address Social Inequality in the Digital Era

Abstract

Social inequality that occurs in the digital era is a significant global challenge, especially in the context of legal justice and resource distribution. The principle of justice in Islamic law ('adl) offers a solution to address this injustice through a moral and welfare-based approach. This study aims to analyze the relevance of Islamic justice principles in facing social inequality in the digital era. The method used is the study of literature, by analyzing various primary and secondary sources, including the Qur'an, hadith, scientific journals, and official documents. The results of the study show that the application of Islamic justice principles, such as zakat, waqf, and wealth distribution, has the potential to reduce social inequality, especially through the digitization of Islamic financial instruments. In addition, Islamic law supports the development of more inclusive policies, such as strengthening access to technology and education. This research emphasizes the importance of integrating Islamic principles into technology-based regulations to create sustainable justice in the digital era.
