What is the ruling on watching a fictional story about people who possess supernatural abilities, without delving into the mention of religions or beliefs except at the beginning?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The impermissibility of watching or reading stories that feature superhuman powers is not ruled simply because of those powers, unless they involve distortion or nullification of religious truths, such as knowing the unseen or bringing the dead back to life. As for abilities like flying or breathing underwater and similar fantasies, the reader or viewer knows that these are fantasies, and their ruling depends on the values and ideas they disseminate.
