Özet:

Today, social media significantly meets the communication and news needs of its users. However, the existence of fake user profiles in social media raises doubts about whether the shared content is real or not. In the 6th verse of the chapter of Hujurat, when a fasiq brings the news, it is ordered to investigate the news thoroughly in order not to harm people. Social media users whose religious and moral situations are unknown are not directly considered as a fasiq. However, it is certain that at least these people are anonymous people who are likely to a fasiq. For this reason, there is no doubt that the news they reported are also within the scope of the relevant verse. The fact that Muslims cause innocent people to suffer material and moral damage by liking, sharing or commenting on unreal news on social media platforms requires religious responsibility. In this study, social media, opening fake user accounts, producing, spreading false news and their religious responsibility were investigated in detail in the context of the 6th verse of the chapter of Hujurat. In our study, the data obtained by using the literature review method on the subjects of the Qur'an, commentary, internet and social media were supported by the digital examination of social media platforms.
