Reference number: 988466 | Islamic Creed | June 23, 2020
What is the ruling on playing video games which contain some polytheism features?
Answer
Praise Be to Allah and Peace Be Upon His Messenger.
It is well-known that our religion (Islam) is the religion of exellence and elevation. It is a pure monotheistic religioon. Therefore, a Muslim should not do any action which condradicts with monotheism whether this action is real and takes place in reality or virtual which takes place in a game. A Muslim does not prostrate to an idol, raise a flag to another religion or sect or do other people’s rituals.
If the video game terms require doing some of these prohibitted actions, then one should stop playing it.
