Thus, social media and technology used must be controlled with ethics and moral principles. This study aims to look at the ability of Maqāṣid al-Shari'ah as a fundamental ethic in the use of social media. Five principle elements (al-Darūriyat al-Khams) in Maqāṣid al-Shari'ah, namely the protection of religion (al-Din), life (al-Nafs), intellect (al-'Aql), progeny (al-Nasl) and wealth (al-Māl) became the yardstick in the use of social media. This study found that Maqāṣid al-Shari'ah is very suitable to be the core of ethics in the use of social media because it can control the harm brought through social media. The study suggests that Maqāṣid al-Shari'ah be the primary ethical in using social media and made a factor in the study of acceptance and use of technology.
