The question

Is the prohibition of playing games that contain symbols of disbelief, such as the cross, removed by the player turning their face away from the symbol of the cross, or by temporarily turning off the television when it appears? And does playing such games amount to disbelief?

The answer

It is forbidden to play electronic games that involve the glorification of the cross or symbols of disbelief. If the game contains only a scene glorifying the cross, and it is possible to avoid looking at it, then there is no harm, but it is better to avoid playing it entirely. Playing these games is not considered disbelief unless the player's heart is expanded by disbelief.
