Playing games on the cellphone
Question
I want to know if playing games on a mobile phone is permissible or not?
Answer
Wasting valuable time really is not at all correct. It is showing great disregard for the priceless gifts of Allah Ta`ala.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
