The answer

A piece of advice: disseminate what benefits people in their religious and worldly affairs. Electronic games waste time and duties, and contain Sharia prohibitions. Publishing educational clips about devices is permissible, provided that viewers are reminded of the obligation to adhere to Sharia and warned against what is forbidden. The sounds of cars and weapons are not forbidden, but the problem lies in the corrupting effects of war games, such as violence and killing. Avoid uploading clips of games that contain music, even if it has been removed, for fear of promoting them.
