Intercourse with Sex Robots in the Realm of Islamic Criminal Jurisprudence

Man has sometimes chosen unconventional methods to satisfy his sexual instincts, including the use of sexual robots. From the perspective of criminal jurisprudence, the relationship with these robots is not included in the concept of adultery, because being human is a condition for committing adultery, but whether the adulterer is alive or dead has no effect on this ruling. But there are different opinions about ta'zir of masturbation. The discussion of sex with robots in the field of criminal jurisprudence is the result of a logical inference from the two introductions of "sanctity of masturbation" on the one hand and the application of "sex with robots to the concept of masturbation" on the other. There is disagreement about the sanctity of masturbation. Also, the expressions of most Shiite jurists in the expressing the ruling of ta'zir for committing masturbation is on its fulfillment with the hand or other organs of the body, in which case, sexual intercourse with robots is not an example of masturbation. However, the rule of emergency in certain circumstances can negate the sanctity of the action and even make it obligatory according to some Sunni jurists.
