Is playing "GTA San Andreas" game permissible or forbidden (Halal or Haram)?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The ruling on games depends on knowing their description and how they are played. If the game is not known, the general rule is that games are forbidden if they are associated with forbidden things, such as gambling, betting, indecent images, music, promoting forbidden acts, corrupt beliefs, or calling to immorality. However, if they are free from these forbidden things, then it is permissible to play them, provided that this does not lead to neglecting one's duties.
