The answer

Movies shown in cinemas are not devoid of forbidden elements, due to their inclusion of many prohibited aspects such as songs, music, and the unveiling of awrah (private parts). More dangerously, they may contain pagan ideas and polytheistic beliefs that seep into the viewer's mind. Therefore, it is not permissible for a Muslim to watch movies in cinemas in this era. Whoever does so has committed a forbidden act and must perform sincere repentance. Watching movies does not invalidate good deeds or expel a Muslim from the faith; rather, one remains a Muslim who has committed a sin by this act.
