Is buying outfits (Skins) in the game "Fortnite" for exorbitant amounts considered a waste of money?
Purchasing in-game additions is permissible if the game itself is permissible and the additions offer a benefit to the player. Extravagance and excessive spending vary according to the financial situation of the spender; what is considered extravagant for one person may not be so for another. Spending money on forbidden things is considered forbidden extravagance regardless of the amount.
One should be keen to utilize time for beneficial pursuits and beware of wasting it in amusement, for a person will be held accountable for their time on the Day of Judgment. Wasting time is among the punishments for sins; it severs one from God and the afterlife, and leads to a lack of divine success, corruption of the heart, and deprivation of knowledge. The greatest wastes of time are the wasting of the heart and long hopes.
