Is displaying acts of magic or similar acts in children's cartoons for the purpose of humor included in what is forbidden?
Entertaining oneself by watching content that contains corrupt beliefs and actions of sorcerers is forbidden. The danger increases with children, as watching these films trivializes the matter of sorcery and portrays it as good, which clashes with the Muslim's creed, due to the Almighty's saying: "And sorcerers will not succeed," and His saying: "And the sorcerer will not succeed wherever he goes." Sorcery is disbelief, and sorcerers cannot transform objects, as this is not within the power of creatures but belongs to Allah alone, as Ibn Uthaymeen said. Watching stories and films that affect a Muslim's creed is forbidden, unless the viewer is fortified with sufficient knowledge to repel doubts.
