Abstrakt: There is a marked increase in survival rates of traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivors in Malaysia as a result of improved acute health care management. Humanoid robots have been proposed as a therapy option to improving TBI management. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to provide insights on the use of humanoids for augmenting therapy in a brainimpaired individual, particularly the permissibility (halal) of using Maqasid principles as a therapy option for TBI. Spirituality and religious interventions will be the main focus of the paper. Data was collected using in-depth interviews with the rehabilitation physicians and therapists as well as via library search, and literature review. Since using humanoid is a new area in rehabilitation, literature on this is scarce, particularly those that are Islamic-based or Islamic oriented. The study also examines the provision of new theories of embodied spirituality relative to humanoids and their perspectives including their impacts on society, ethics, and theological implications of their basic assumptions.
