The answer

It is permissible to stream lawful games that are free from prohibitions on electronic platforms. However, it is not permissible to stream prohibited games, even if they contain advice. A Muslim must utilize their time in what benefits them in this life and the afterlife, and refrain from wasting time in frivolous amusement, because a person will be held accountable for their time, wealth, body, and knowledge on the Day of Judgment. Donating money to someone who streams something permissible is allowed, but the expenditure should be in what is beneficial.
