| Abstract

:
|
This thesis explores Yastaft?nak, a program aired on Al-Resalah, an Arabic-language Islamic satellite television channel, as a prime example of the fatw a show genre. Scrutinizing Yastaftnak from different theoretical angles, I enquire into how such fatwa programs operate, why they are made and watched, and what repercussions their increasing popularity has for Muslim worlds. Considering the utilization of fatw as as a tool of societal discipline, I examine simultaneously how such discipline is embodied and performed. These subjects feed into larger arguments concerning the role of television programs in the commodification of fatwas and concurrent establishment of an “intimate public sphere.” Throughout this, I probe into the ways a seemingly uniquely Islamic knowledge produced in the form of an unending stream of fatw a is given the impression of being objective, and contest this view, teasing the social, political, and economic out of what is presented as solely legal or religious.
