What is the ruling on frequenting electronic gaming halls, given that some individuals there use foul language, especially during Ramadan?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Electronic games are permissible if they are free of music, do not distract from a duty, or lead to committing a forbidden act such as gambling or neglecting rights. While permissible, excessive engagement with them diminishes one's dignity, especially given the presence of cursing, which must be changed. It is advisable to stay away from these places during Ramadan, except for the purpose of changing a wrongdoing.
