Al-hadith al-wa ahiat wa-al-mawdu’ah fi al-baramij al-da’wiyah al-talifiziyuniyyah fi maliziya: dirasat tahliliyyat qanat al-hijrah [Doctoral dissertation, Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia]. USIM Research Repository.https://oarep.usim.edu.my/handle/123456789/13351Matric : 4172601 (FPQS)-Restricted until 2026The dissemination of rejected hadiths among Muslims in Malaysia has been a continuous challenge ever since the Hadith books were first written in 19th century Malay Archipelago. Furthermore, the progress of current technology gave birth to new mediums of information delivery such as television networks. These networks helped in spreading the rejected hadiths through dakwah television programs, forcing the authorities to strengthen their efforts to restrain it. There are varying reasons behind this situation which, if not addressed properly, will make implementing intervention strategies difficult since the audiences observe these hadiths in their daily practice. Therefore, a comprehensive study was conducted on the hadiths disseminated through dakwah television programs broadcasted by TV Al-Hijrah, the first Islamic government television station. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the status of the hadiths that were used in the dakwah programs from the year 2015 to 2019 and to analyse the effect it has on the audiences. The study also suggests creating a guideline for interacting with hadith in broadcasting media and to make it be a better reference for related parties. The mixed-method design of this study utilized the methods of library research and surveys as well as method of observation which was used to record all rejected hadith used in ten selected dakwah television program in TV Al-Hijrah. A questionnaire was also distributed to 420 respondents to acquire information regarding their knowledge and experience with practicing the hadiths obtained through the programs. Furthermore, the document analysis method was used to review and compare relevant acts and past guidelines to produce a more comprehensive preliminary guideline. The study concluded several important findings such as the existence of 89 weak and fabricated hadith disseminated through the selected television programs, demanding an investigation into the presenters’ reliance on these hadiths to deliver their content to the audience. Furthermore, the audiences who were exposed to and practiced these hadiths demonstrated reactions that prove these hadiths have detrimental effects. This situation resulted in the creation of a comprehensive guideline and the 28 clauses involve three parties: the television station, the production team and the audiences. This guideline is important in preventing mistakes while dealing with the hadiths. In conclusion, this study hopes to assist all interested parties in lifting the quality of dakwah television programs and ensure the contents are authentic and free of impurities that could degrade its role in educating the Muslim audiences in Malaysia.otherWeak and fabricated hadith, dakwah program, Al-Hijrah TV.HadithDa'wah (Islam)Mass media--Religious aspects--Islam.Thesis
