What is the ruling of Islamic law on money earned from repairing electronic games such as PlayStation?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Video games often contain religiously prohibited elements such as music and裸体images, which makes playing them and assisting in their maintenance (such as repairs) unlawful. This is based on the Almighty's saying: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." Consequently, earning money from them is forbidden, and any money earned must be disposed of, accompanied by repentance. Allah has promised those who fear Him a way out and provision from sources they never anticipated.
