Some familiar themes ++ here in this discussion on Egyptian digital issues. I haven’t read it yet in full:

Muhammad Latif Fauzi, Imam Mustofa, Ibnu Akbar Maliki, Faiz Husaini, ‘The Digital Minbar: Repositioning Religious Authority and the Dynamics of Islamic Law in Contemporary Egypt’s Virtual Landscape‘. (2026). MILRev: Metro Islamic Law Review, 5(1), 178-209. https://doi.org/10.32332/milrev.v5i1.11109. “This study examines how Al-Azhar and Dar al-Iftaʾ al-Miṣriyyah respond to the emergence of online religious actors who acquire authority through social media rather than through classical academic structures.” PDF
