Abstract: In light of the rapid developments in the field of technology and the spread of digital spaces, cybercrimes are one of the main challenges facing society in the current era. These crimes threaten individual and social security, and cause economic and psychological damage, which requires serious attention from society and legal systems.This study addressed the various dimensions of cybercrimes in Sunni jurisprudence and criminal laws in Afghanistan. The results indicate that Islamic jurisprudence, despite not directly addressing these crimes, clearly emphasizes the prohibition and punishment of these acts based on moral and social principles and values. The inclusion of cybercrimes under the name "cybercrimes" in the Afghan Penal Code also expresses the strong will of legislators to confront these emerging threats.
