What is the ruling on the game Fruit Ninja, which relies on slicing fruits, and is playing it considered a disparagement of blessings?

This fatwa (definition) permits playing computer games, provided they are free from gambling and music, and that they offer significant benefit, such as mental sports. Therefore, if the game develops skills and the ability to respond quickly and act appropriately, there is no harm in it. The mentioned game, which involves cutting objects (virtual fruit) and avoiding bombs, aims to teach quick wit. It is not a waste of money or a degradation of blessings, as it involves unreal fruit. It is preferable to look for other objects to cut to avoid accustoming children to damaging real fruit or wasting money.
