eroded the values of Muslim homes. On the basis of Islamic values, Muslim household ties reflect an
attitude that balances the satisfaction of needs with the allocation of time for domestic work. This study
examines the relationship between the household's social media addiction, household spending, and its
impact on family ties in the West Sumatra Province of Indonesia. This study employs a relational survey
model and quota sampling to collect data from 250 households in the ten cities/districts of West Sumatra
Province with the most significant internet usage in 2020. Various statistical analysis methods, including
descriptive statistics and moderating regression analysis using ordinary least squares (OLS), are utilized
for modeling throughout the entire study. The empirical findings indicate that household spending has a
significant negative impact on family ties, with a coefficient of 2.00, and that social media addiction among
both parents and adolescents has a relatively significant negative impact on family ties, with coefficients
of 0.0011 and 0.0082, respectively. In addition, this phenomenon has not occurred across all categories

social media addiction, and family ties. At the same time, adolescents from divorced homes are
susceptible to social media addiction
