ASSALAMU ALAIKUM WA RAHMATULLAHI WA BARAKATUH


I think this is the most burning question among teen agers like me video games are halal or haram..... recently i found a game free of haraam things like music and animations of living animals will that game be permissible for playing......


JAJAKALLAH KHAIRE.........
 
Halaal if you say Bismillah before turning on xbox haraam if you didn't. Joking... Not sure halal or haraam but for sure its an idle talk where people spent hrs missing salath and what not.
 
Music tv shows movies all sorts of Garbage thats sold in the name of entertainment
 
Maths and sciences are studies you can use books to learn those. You dont need video games to learn math unless you are 6 yrs old.
 
i would think it would be considered haram because its a distraction.
 
Assalamu Alaikum

Video games these days are definitely filled with haram things. This ranges from killing, naked women, drugs, music, racism, and theft. Besides that, there's the issue of wasting time and even procrastinating on your Islamic duties to "finish" a game. They are not a must in anyone's life and one can find beneficial ways to entertain himself.
 
My kids are 5 and 7 they don't have any computers ie playstation/x box/wii or ipads. They have survived..ur life won't be lost of u don't have one. Go play outside, hang out frinds, study.
 
Video games are such a waste of time, tbh. They do have a lot of haraam in them these days and they aren't particularly stimulating either.

My parents brought us up with the conscious decision we wouldn't have any playstations or videos games - I grew up with a love of art and reading and the outdoors which I still have today, and I so enjoyed my hobbies that I actually couldn't stand the thought of sitting down playing a video-game, I just hated them lol.. And I am so glad that they made sure I didn't spend my childhood in front a screen.
 
Assalamualaikum wr wb,

Modern games, good food for bad emotions...are addicting, distract our focus of reality, time, responsibilities,...I think they give much more harm than good...especially for kids...at least it not good for their eyes... and still many worse effects... mentally...

playing in the woods, rivers, mountains, ...being close to the nature, sharpen our sense... reminding us how great our Creator is....are far better

sorry for the bad english...;D
 
thank you all sooooo much... jajakallahu khaire it has been a great help for me and i am sure this thread will help many teenagers who hv the same question like me.,insha'allah...

You are soo right may allah bring peace on you[emoji4]
 
Video games are halal in general, provided they don't contain any haram aspects and don't distract you from your ibadah.

Please ignore the people who say video games are a waste of time, since the same could be said of other hobbies also. As long as you do it in moderation, there should be no problem insh'Allah.

Personally I can't see the benefits that art brings to a person, so hence they are a waste of time. People could do so much more with their time tbh
