Kasus Grup Fantasi Sedarah di Facebook: Analisis Fiqih Jinayah terhadap Kejahatan Seksual Virtual

Abstract

The development of digital technology has had a major impact on social interaction patterns, including in terms of deviant sexual behavior in the virtual realm. One case that has emerged is the existence of the "Incestuous Fantasy" group on the Facebook platform, which has become a place for the spread of deviant sexual content based on incest virtually. This study aims to analyze this phenomenon through the perspective of Islamic jurisprudence, a branch of Islamic jurisprudence that discusses Islamic criminal law. The method used is a qualitative-descriptive approach with a juridical and normative analysis of classical Islamic jurisprudence texts, and is associated with the reality of virtual sexual crimes in the digital era. The results of the study show that the activities in the group fulfill the elements of jarimah (criminal acts) in Islam, especially related to the jarimah of zina, fahisyah (vile acts), and the spread of evil. Even though it occurs in the virtual realm, Islamic jurisprudence views these actions as a form of crime that damages morals and social order, so that the perpetrators can still be subject to ta'zir punishment. This study emphasizes the importance of updating Islamic law in responding to the challenges of information technology-based sexual crimes.
