Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the legal and ethical 
foundations of backbiting (ghibah) and slander (buhtan) on digital platforms. Drawing on 
official documents of the Muslim Board of Uzbekistan and the Cabinet of Ministers of the 
Republic of Uzbekistan, the article broadly addresses the application of ethical and legal 
norms in social media, the adverse social impact of ghibah and buhtan, and the responsibility 
of both society and the individual in preventing them. The study scientifically substantiates 
the harmony between Islamic values and national-legal foundations in the contemporary 
digital environment.
