Does the exposed part of the thigh in the drawings of an electronic game make playing it unlawful (haram)?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no harm in entertaining oneself and playing a game that displays the thigh of a drawn player, as long as looking at it does not lead to a شرعية (Shar'i) corruption. Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen mentioned that there is hesitation regarding whether cartoon images in human form are considered akin to real images, and the stronger opinion is that they are not. If they are in a non-human form, there is no harm in watching them, provided they are not accompanied by any disapproved acts or distractions from an obligation.
