Is it permissible to rent out electronic gaming devices to students for a fee?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible to play games and rent out the devices used for them, provided that the games are free from music and gambling, and that they do not distract from prayer or obligatory duties or due rights, such as the rights of parents, and that they are played in moderation. If any of these conditions are violated, then it is not permissible to play the games or rent out the devices, for that entails cooperation in sin and aggression.
