What is the ruling on money acquired from converting video game points into cash, given that the player knows the game's terms and conditions prohibit selling these points, and that the game represents a simulation of daily life?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is impermissible to sell gaming points when there is a condition prohibiting their sale, due to Allah's saying: "O you who have believed, fulfill [all] contracts," and the Prophet (peace be upon him) saying: "Muslims are bound by their conditions." A Muslim must utilize their time in what benefits them and engage in permissible activities in a suitable measure that does not distract them from their religion.
