Is it permissible to develop an Islamic strategy game based on Islamic history, free of images, music, and gambling, that has time constraints, does not cause rivalry between players, and closes during prayer times, knowing that it will include simulations of historical events such as the era of Al-Siddiq and the conquest of Constantinople?
There is no harm in the mentioned game if its scientific content is well-regulated. In that case, it would serve as an educational tool for Islamic history, which distinguishes it from chess. The random number in it does not resemble dice and does not take its ruling. Permissible entertainment can be a helper for knowledge and worship.
