Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of modern society, necessitating its incorporation into various aspects of life. This integration calls for the establishment of legal and ethical frameworks to regulate its use. Consequently, this study seeks to address two fundamental questions: To what extent do artificial intelligence applications align with Islamic principles and ethics? And how well do the objectives of Sharia accommodate the advancements and outcomes of artificial intelligence? Through a comprehensive analysis and examination of relevant sources, the study concludes by reaffirming the adaptability and universality of Islamic Sharia, demonstrating its ability to encompass contemporary technological advancements while remaining relevant across different times and places.
