A Jurisprudential Inquiry into the Killer Humanoid Robot is a book in the field of Criminal Jurisprudence. This book was written by Hosseinali Bina and Amir Hossein Fahimi and published by Miras-e Mandegar publications. The book's content is organized into five discourses. The stated purpose of this text was to conduct a jurisprudential review of topics related to killer robots. The book has not been edited and has an incoherent structure. The topics discussed in the five discourses are presented independently and without clarifying their connection to the main research subject. Reading this work does not fulfill the reader's expectation for a comprehensive and analytical jurisprudential examination of the topic of killer robots.
In the first discourse, the authors, in two pages, outline the history of the periods of criminal law, analyzing it in three main stages: private revenge, private justice, and public justice. In the stage of private revenge, punishment was carried out by the victim or their family. In the stage of private justice, the state had limited oversight over the process of imposing punishment. But in the stage of public justice, the state took full responsibility for the administration of justice and punishment (pp. 11-12).
The second discourse is dedicated to introducing the killer robot and its various dimensions. In this section, the authors have copied several pages of reports from some news agencies, such as IRNA and the Young Journalists Club. However, the content from these two sites has been cited not directly, but through non-authoritative websites. This discourse examines the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence as the main factor increasing the likelihood of the emergence of killer robots and its transformation into a serious threat (pp. 14-22).
In the third discourse, the authors explain fundamental concepts and topics related to the research, such as robot, programming, free will, coercion, muharabah, responsibility, and murder. In this section as well, content has been copied from books like *Ayat al-Ahkam* (written by Abbasali Amid Zanjani) and *Ahkam-e Hoquqi-ye Eslam* (written by Nematollah Yousefian), and no adequate explanation has been provided (pp. 25-45).
In the fourth discourse, a brief translation and interpretation of verses related to murder are presented. This discourse only lists verses related to murder and confines itself to a general interpretation of these verses, and the authors have not explained the connection of this exegetical content to the main topic of the book. Most of the exegetical content is also not from jurisprudential or authoritative books (pp. 46-71).
In the final discourse, the authors examine important jurisprudential rules such as the rule of destruction (*qa'idat al-itlaf*), the rule of dominion (*qa'idat al-taslit*), and the rule of no harm (*qa'idat la darar*). In this discourse as well, only an explanation of the jurisprudential rules is mentioned, but the connection of these rules to the main topic of the book is not specified. In this section, in addition to copying texts from jurisprudential books, in some cases, Arabic phrases have been added without any translation or explanation (pp. 72-101).
