Playing monopoly with one's family
Question
Is it permissible to play monopoly with ones family as long as it does not become a barrier from one fulfilling the fardh ibadah?
Answer
These types of games are not for adults. The hadeeth discourages us from lahw and la`ib (activities that have absolutely no benefit and good).
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.
