Purpose - The rampant da’wah content in social media that triggers social and national disintegration is a problem and a big task for the government and Muslims in Indonesia to prevent it. This study seeks to identify the values of moderation in the fatwa of the Majelis Ulama Indonesia of East Java Province Number—06 of 2022 concerning da’wah Ethics in the Digital Era.

Method - This qualitative study uses a philosophical normative approach. The study's primary data used the fatwa document of the Majelis Ulama Indonesia, East Java Province Number—06 of 2022 concerning da’wah Ethics in the Digital Era. Indicators of religious moderation conceptualized by the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia as the primary analysis theory. The documentation techniques used in collecting data in this study and the data analysis techniques used were data reduction, presentation, and verification.

Results - This study concludes that there is a dimension of religious moderation in the fatwa of Majelis Ulama Indonesia of East Java Province Number—06 of 2022 concerning da’wah Ethics in the Digital Era, among others, the value of anti-radicalism in the prohibition of the delivery of provocative da’wah content, the value of tolerance in the recommendation of delivering pluralist da’wah content, the value of national commitment in the recommendation of delivering da’wah content that leads to compliance with the country's constitution, and the accommodating value of local wisdom in the recommendation of delivering da’wah content that maintains public conduciveness.

 Implications – This study shows that mainstreaming religious moderation in Indonesia can be internalized in religious social fatwas.

Originality - This study shows that the four indicators of religious moderation in Indonesia (tolerance, anti-radicalism, national commitment, and accommodating to local wisdom) can be internalized in the digital media space's code of ethics for da’wah activities.
