Is changing players' images in "Football Manager 2012-2013" from one season to another, and the appearance of detailed images for new players randomly generated by the engine (showing hair, nose, skin, and image), considered creating prohibited depictions?
The Islamic is balanced. It has been established that the embodied dolls for girls are an exception to the prohibited images mentioned in the Hadiths, as in the of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). The majority of scholars hold that this concession is for children, but some scholars have allowed it for adults as well, due to necessity, such as when a person needs it to overcome sins and temptations or to avoid boredom. This indicates that leniency regarding regulated electronic games for adults has some basis in evidence and reasoning, provided that it does not become their constant habit, and that they occupy their time with what is more beneficial, such as useful knowledge, righteous deeds, and community participation. Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen mentioned that cartoon images are not to be equated with the prohibited real images. It is hoped that there is no sin upon the questioner for playing the game, provided that it does not become their constant habit, and that they occupy their time with what is more beneficial.
