Islamic scholar responds to preacher's ban on digital Joy
The article includes a response from Islamic researcher Dr. Mohamed Sobhi El-Aaydi regarding the ruling on looking at the digital character "Farah," the official spokesperson for the government, which represents an image of artificial intelligence rather than a real woman. El-Aaydi explained that the character "Farah" does not possess a true body or physical modesty (awra), and therefore, Islamic rulings related to hijab and viewing should not be directly applied to her. Instead, it requires evaluating the nature of the digital entity and the basis of the Islamic ruling. He emphasized that the ruling on looking at digital characters depends on their content and the extent to which they incite desire or cause temptation, indicating that the prohibition relates to their sensitivity and seductive nature, not necessarily because they are real women. He also clarified that a fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) distinction based on old texts can be applied to understand new digital developments, highlighting the importance of determining the nature of the image before issuing a legal ruling. Furthermore, he stressed the need to differentiate between ruling on awra and viewing in the real virtual world and artificial digital images, underscoring that the Islamic legal approach to emerging digital issues requires understanding the nature of the matter before issuing judgments.
