What is the ruling on electronic games that contain crosses, such as Hitler's cross, or the Red Cross, or flags of countries that have crosses?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The ruling on playing with games that display the cross has been previously clarified. Here, we add the answer of Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen, who was asked about computer games in which the cross appears. He replied that the cross must be effaced or broken if it cannot be effaced, because if the child becomes accustomed to seeing it, he will belittle it. It is obligatory to keep children away from everything that contains crosses, whether in computer games or small cars.
