Playing shooting games
Question
I have a question about shooting video games, as you know in our religion, it's haraam to burn living creatures or to hit on the face. So do we apply these Ahkam (rules) to characters of video games or not?
Answer
The game itself is incorrect. And when it is not right then the game must be destroyed completely. An additional thing is that these characters are not living things. So to compare these images to living things is totally incorrect.
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.
