The Right To Digital Protection Of The Child Between The Provisions Of Islamic Jurisprudence And Contemporary Legislation: A Comparative Study In Light Of The Challenges Of Generative Artificial Intelligence

Authors : Louabdia Jihane .

Abstract

This study examines whether Islamic juristic rulings and contemporary legislation adequately protect children in the digital environment amid risks arising from generative artificial intelligence. It argues that digital protection is a fundamental right linked to preserving life, intellect, honor, dignity, and privacy. Using descriptive-analytical, comparative, and inductive methods, the study finds that Islamic jurisprudence provides strong foundations through its objectives and principles, while contemporary legislation, despite notable progress, still requires more effective mechanisms to address deepfakes, digital exploitation, children's data collection, and harmful online content.
