Question

What does Islam say about indoor games like mobile games, video games, etc. I am doing a job and busy in it. I want to play games because I dont have any other entertainment but my wife stops me. We dont have TV so I get bored. I think that its better to play games instead of going out and getting involved in bad things. Please guide us.

Answer

Go out in jamaat. Do some kitaab reading daily with some Qur'aan recitation.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Ask Mufti Online

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.
