Popis: Research on fatwa authority in the digital era intends to conduct an analysis of the fading authority of the NU bahtsul masail among nahdliyyin, turning to other digital-based fatwas, namely fatwas listed on internet pages. Why is Bahtsul Masail becoming increasingly abandoned by people in this digital age? How is the format of bahtsul masail in the digital age? The results of this study include; First, methodologically, bahtsul masail consistently uses the ijtihad method according to the legal hierarchy of the Imams of the schools; Second, the transmission of the bahtsul masail fatwa is still through personal media, namely the cleric, clerics and scholars; Third, in the contestation of the struggle for fatwa authority in the digital era, the methodology and media for fatwa transmission must be accelerated with the progress of the digital era.
