Question
The latest fatwa, why is it that games are completely prohibited? Isn't there some that is permissible, as long as the person maintains their prayers, even if it distracts them from the remembrance of God a little, just like work and employment?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: this is not correct as a reason for the ruling; because a person's obligations are more than their available time, and we have life commitments and numerous duties. Those who occupy themselves with such games will have a trivial and corrupt mindset, dominated by falsehood. There are many hadiths that prohibit this, indicating that amusement, which is wasting time on things that have no worldly or otherworldly benefit, is forbidden. And God knows best.
