Watching movies involving kufr and shirk
Question
Does watching movies involving fiction (gods, magic, etc.) invlove shirk or kufr?
Answer
You should understand that when the film relates to gods and idols, it relates to shirk and kufr. For one to entertain himself with kufr and shirk is a sign that one is pleased with kufr and shirk. The Fuqaha have mentioned that to be pleased with kufr is kufr.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
