What is the ruling on the electronic football game (PES) with the ability to remove the display of 'awrah, and what is the ruling on modes that simulate tournaments and leagues, and creating a player and playing with him, knowing that no financial compensation is taken upon winning?
There is no objection to playing electronic games as long as they are free from Shariah prohibitions. The game's simulation of reality, such as championships and leagues, does not necessitate prohibition, even if nothing is taken upon winning.
However, creating a player within the game is something that should be avoided because it falls under the category of drawing animate beings, which is forbidden by the majority of scholars if the image is fully formed.
