In line with the expanding role of media in social life and the increasing susceptibility of the general public to it, the market for false and shocking news—especially news related to security issues and armed conflicts—has heated up. On the other hand, the prohibition of “agitation” (Arabic: إرْجاف, Romanized: ʾIrjāf) and the stipulation of severe punishment, along with the emphasis on dealing with “Murjifūn” (agitators) in verses 60 to 62 of sūrat Al-Aḥzāb, provide a jurisprudential basis for “protecting the psychological security of citizens” and complement the crime of “Muḥāraba” (Arabic: اَلْمُحاربة, meaning fight or waging war) refers to ensuring the material security of citizens. From a legal perspective, the legislator, by criminalizing “Baghy” (Arabic: البغی, meaning trespass) and “propaganda against the system,” has protected the political system against both hard and soft threats. However, the protection of the people is limited to the crime of “muḥāraba” and confined to hard threats (life, financial, and security). There has been silence in the face of threats to the psychological security of the public through organized news fabrication and dissemination, which causes anxiety, despair, and discomfort among people and citizens. The question arises: what necessity is there to criminalize “media agitation”? This article, conducted descriptively and analytically using library tools, reveals that ensuring the psychological security of citizens—as a clear example of public rights—requires the separate criminalization of media agitation.
