is robotics haram ?

I believe it depends on the purpose. IF you are making a robot to use in medicine or operations then it would be fine. But if you are making a human clone for fun.. isn't that same as making a statue albeit a moving one
 
yea ur argument is correct its like we use pictures for passports since it is required but we don't take pix for memories !!! tx zakir bhai

btw gud sigi :)

edit : if robotics is nessery then we can use if not its like making statues ryt ?
 
Thank you president sahab :) ..I am a mechanical engineer too and my under grad project is a pipe climbing robot.Its purpose is to climb pipes for inspection and it doesn't have a face or hands .. :P . So i guess its halal :S ..


here is a defenitive answer from islam-qa.
Praise be to Allaah.

Making a robot comes under the ruling on image-making. To sum up, if the machine is made in the shape of a man or an animate being, that is forbidden, and comes under the stern warning that is issued to those who make images and try to imitate the creation of Allaah. It will be said to them on the Day of Resurrection: “Give life to that which you have created.” It also comes under the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “Those who will be most severely punished on the Day of Resurrection will be the image-makers.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, no. 5606; Muslim, 2109.

But if the machine is not in the form of an animate being or is incomplete and would not be taken as a human being or animate creature, there is nothing wrong with that.

It should be noted that no matter how far man advances in the field of technology, he will never be able to make anything that is anywhere near the creation of Allaah. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“So Blessed is Allaah, the Best of creators”

:sl: I love robots. Robots only partly resemble humans in sci-fi movies (Short Circuit and Iron Giant are the cutest!) In reality robots in factories look nothing like humans and are just awesome machines that do tons of work. I adore seeing them in action on programs like How it's Made lol.

My fave robots! :embarrass :statisfie

The first robot is kinda creeping me out...:skeleton::phew


About the question "is making or developing robots also haram ?"
I found this: http://islamqa.com/en/ref/47062/robots

Inshallah, I hope that helps :)
:sl:
 
So, if making robot in shape of man or animate is forbidden, how about this robot ?

@ardianto ^^
As mentioned in the fatwa why should v design a robot that looks like human if
robots are necessary then we should design in a way that doesn't like like human
But if the machine is not in the form of an animate being or is incomplete and would not be taken as a human being or animate creature, there is nothing wrong with that.

Actually, that is robot from Starwars.

Of course I know that is shaped like human. My statement is just a test. :)
