The development of information technology has led to opening the information access in such a way, not only is geopolitical boundaries dwindling but also the opening of information access presents a new symptom, full sensation, and fast-paced change. As a consequence, contemporary society is entering to a new phase called the post truth era. Hoax is increasingly bursting, and even to the hate speech, and assassination character. Virtual reality presupposes the necessity for deeper meaning and ijtihad on Islamic studies, especially the study of fiqh on this phenomenon.
