Pictures of animate objects
Question
I live in Pakistan. In Pakistan we can only find CD's of games and movies which are pirated approximatly 1 dollar 100 Rs. I like to play games but buying the original game costs more money than my budget. They are eg. 50 dollars and more. Nowadays I download games from torrents. I want to ask that am I allowed to download or is there any other way?
Answer
Pictures of animate objects are haraam and forbidden in Islam. You should sincerely repent to Allah Ta'ala for getting involved in these sins and make a firm resolve that you will not return to it in the future.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
