Question

I lived in california (USA). I have a games store,playstation, xbox and game cube and electronics. This business is halal or haram. please reply me.

Answer

The business of an electronics store is permissible.

However, the sale of non-educational entertainment games is not permissible. Such games are neither educational nor beneficial. They rob of us of a priceless commodity – time.
