Abstract

The very fast technological development becomes the beginning of a drastic change in the pattern of human life, especially the younger generation (so called the 'millennial generation'). Their dependence on gadgets seems to have made them as one of the primary life needs that must exist. This eventually brings impact on their behaviour related to the use of gadgets. The phenomenon of selfie among the millennial generation has become a very common thing to do. In the study of contemporary Islamic law, the approach of maqâshid syarî‘ah that seeks to gain mashlaẖât (benefits) and avoids mafsadât (harms) in human life may be used as a special consideration for dealing with the said phenomenon. This literature-based study was aimed to uncover the said phenomenon by reviewing it using mashlaẖât and mafsadât approaches. The results of the study indicate that the said approaches have urgency as a means of control against the selfie phenomenon practiced by the current millennial generation. Selfie should only be done if it brings benefits and goodness (mashlaẖât), otherwise, it must be avoided.
