Abstract

Islam is very concerned about the spread of fake news, therefore the Qur'an and As-Sunnah contain prohibitions and threats as well as the impact for every fake news and liars. This article contains about how Islamic teachings provide affirmations regarding the impact of liars on fake news. This article adopts a descriptive analytical approach to examine the phenomenon of massive fake news occurring both in society and in online media. According to the results of the analysis of several evidence, it is known that Islamic teachings do not provide room for good for every liar, as well as Islamic teachings threaten to put kids who make fake news will be placed in hell. From the results of an analysis of some of the arguments of the Qur'an and the hadith of the Prophet, it is known that Islam requires its adherents not to get caught up in fake news because the impact of lying news is so powerful for perpetrators and victims such as time is wasted, triggers divisions, benefits certain parties and is detrimental the other party, and cast doubt on the facts. This study proposes suggestions for policy makers to issue regulations and laws for perpetrators of spreading fake news, both offline and online.
