Abstract: Introduction: The research reviews the impact of social networks on social relations from a jurisprudential perspective, as it discusses the positive and negative changes these platforms have brought about in traditional relationship patterns. On the one hand, networks contribute to strengthening family ties, facilitating communication between friends, and spreading Islamic values through awareness campaigns, and on the other hand, their excessive use leads to social isolation and a decline in real interaction, in addition to the spread of immoral content that negatively affects values. Methods: The study used the descriptive analytical approach based on previous studies and data analysis. The research relies on Islamic jurisprudence as a reference to provide legal controls that control the use according to the principle of "warding off evils and bringing interests", where he stressed the importance of balancing benefits and harms. Results: The study found that moderate use of these networks enhances social relationships, while excessive leads to family disintegration and weakened real ties. The research recommends promoting community awareness about responsible use, developing Sharia standards, and supporting real-world interaction through social activities, with a focus on disseminating meaningful and positive content. Conclusions: It concluded that communication networks represent a dual-impact tool that requires managing them wisely to ensure public benefit and avoid negative effects, with the need to integrate Islamic values into digital use to enhance social relations and control digital behavior.
