Is the Use of Sex Robots Permissible?

Question:

Is the use of sex robots permissible?

Answer:

Wa ‘alaykum assalam wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh.

I pray you are well.

No, the use of sex robots is not permissible for single or married men in any situation. It is better to take the means to calm one’s physical urges in a halal way, such as fasting and avoiding high zinc content foods and meat.

Even better, one should ask Allah for a way out and keep looking for a spouse who can fulfil one deen and dunya needs. Allah answers our prayers. It may take a while sometimes, but the response does come.

May Allah grant you the best of both worlds.
