It was discussed in the College of Islamic Sciences, University of Karbala and on the hall of Al-Sadiq Al-Amin (PBUH) the master’s thesis tagged with the provisions of electronic blackmail in Imami jurisprudence, presentation and analysis by the student Noor Fadel Marza Al-Jubouri.

The researcher indicated that the importance of the research lies in several points:

1- Imami jurisprudence is not against technical development, but it is against the evils and damages left by that development or its negative uses. Hence, the importance of clarifying the opinion of Imami jurisprudence on technological development and its various means.

2- Establishing a new topic that gives a positive impression, as it demonstrates the capacity of Imami jurisprudence and its ability to meet contemporary demands.

3- Standing on the rulings from the jurisprudential point of view of a subject that was not previously known by this name, and clarifying the punishment of those who carry out the act of electronic blackmail in the Imami jurisprudence, perhaps it will be a deterrent solution for some of them.

4- Assisting the competent government agencies in devising punishments commensurate with the size of the crime committed or caused by the extortionist, and these penalties may be derived from the Imami jurisprudence.
