Kajian ini bertujuan mengenalpasti bentuk-bentuk al-sukhriyyah yang wujud dalam media sosial masa kini serta menganalisis kedudukan perbuatan ini menurut perspektif hukum Islam. Kajian dijalankan secara kualitatif menggunakan kaedah kepustakaan dengan menganalisis teks-teks al-Quran dan Hadis serta perbahasan para sarjana Muslim berkaitan pengamalan al-sukhriyyah.
