Fatwa #100192 November 2003South Africa

I have been wanting to know the ruling on computer games as i am a heavy gamer, is it halaal or haraam?if haraam why?

Answer

If the computer game is educational or imparts some form of skill, it is permissible otherwise not.

Most computer games to our knowledge are but ?games? and a sheer waste of precious time. Hence, not permissible.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
