Abstract

In recent times, we are living in the era of technology because of that rapid scientific development, and it is not hidden from everyone who is familiar with the pros and cons of technology, regardless of the positives. On individuals and societies at all levels.
Among these problems that emerged from the technological revolution is electronic extortion, which seems to have become the problem of the current era. A society may not be devoid of the presence of blackmailers or victims of extortion, but the problem may increase or decrease in a society without another depending on the specificity of that society, hence this Research to shed light on the provisions of electronic blackmail in Imami jurisprudence.
It is no secret that electronic blackmail has several causes, but the most common are poverty, unemployment, the desire of some to get rich quickly and without effort, misuse of social networking sites, as well as psychological and social reasons that push its owner towards hostile behavior, with the weak prestige of the law, and many family factors.
Its sanctity is inferred from the four evidences of Imami jurisprudence (the Book, the Sunnah, consensus and the mind), despite the recentness of the topic, but its sanctity is clear in the Holy Qur’an because it is a complex concept that is inseparable from the concept of appropriation and pressure on the victim, as well as its many endorsements and sanctity are clear in the book and the rest of the evidence,The blackmailer is punished in the Imami jurisprudence either as a punishment, retribution or ta’zir, according to what he has done and the evidence proven against him, and the fact is that in some cases he deserves more than one punishment because he commits more than one crime at the same time, such as stealing personal data from other people’s phones and here he deserves to be cut or He rapes them, then publishes them or installs obscene clips, so he deserves the limit of slander. As for the moral damage to the victim, the extortionist must be reprimanded. In the event of crimes accumulating, the penalties for the taxpayer pile up and intensify, and the legitimate ruler begins implementing the penalties without killing and leaving the killing to the last step.
