Obsessed with Whispers about Games That May Include Kufr

25-12-2021 | IslamWeb

Question:

السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ A game company included a Qur’an page into their game with blood on it as part of a map (audhubillah) but they removed it and apologised and said it was a mistake. What is the ruling on playing this game now that they have removed it? Also will it be permissible to play other games from this same company? I stopped playing it due to feeling uncomfortable and I only play games from this company so hence why i would like to know.

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

Dear questioner, you have asked too many questions about Kufr and going out of the fold of Islam, and about games that may include Shirk (polytheism), or contain Shirk, or fear of Shirk, which indicates that you are obsessed with whispers in this regard.

So, in the future, we may be obliged to block your questions of this kind, because there is no cure for your whispers except by repelling them.

As regards your question, the answer in brief is that as long as the game is free of forbidden matters, then there is nothing wrong with playing with it.

For more benefit on playing computer games which contain secondary elements of Shirk, please refer to Fatawa 188149 and 238003.

Allah Knows best.
