Abstract
The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics has brought forth profound implications, particularly within the realm of ethics and jurisprudence. This paper seeks to initiate a humble yet significant exploration into the intersection of AI applications and Islamic jurisprudence. By focusing on foundational principles, the study highlights how Islamic legal frameworks can provide ethical guidance for human-AI interactions that ensure justice, social welfare, and moderation. A key focus of this work is the five indicators identified in Islamic jurisprudence that are particularly relevant for addressing AI abuses: (i) intent to harm, (ii) intention for an unlawful purpose, (iii) causing greater harm than good, (iv) unethical use resulting in damage to others, and (v) negligence or error in usage. These principles underscore the critical need for precaution and accountability in developing and deploying AI technologies. This paper also emphasizes the importance of preventing harmful applications of AI through the lens of Islamic technoethics. By offering this integrative perspective, the study hopes to contribute to ongoing discussions about AI governance and ethics, encouraging further research and dialogue. The intention is to provide a starting point for more inclusive and culturally informed frameworks that address the challenges and opportunities of technological advancements while upholding ethical integrity
