What is the ruling on playing electronic games that include false beliefs such as polytheism and offering sacrifices to deities, if playing is merely for entertainment and an attempt to avoid these scenes?
It is not permissible to play electronic games that contain blasphemous beliefs, such as offering sacrifices to idols and swearing by them, even if the intention is entertainment. The player of such games is sinful, but he does not become an infidel merely by playing as long as he believes in the falsity of those beliefs.
