Watching movies like ashaab-e-kahf
Question
Is it allowed to watch movies like ashaab-e-kahf, muktharnama, the massage, oias karani etc?
Answer
The kitaabs of aqaaid have recorded that if people enact a play where one person assumes to be a great aalim or a mufti and people are referring to him for deeni issues and he is answering them then these kitaabs say that all of them have become kaafir.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
