What is the ruling on video games that include killing, drugs, and nudity, while overlooking the scenes of nudity?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Islam has permitted recreation and leisure, with legitimate controls, so that it does not distract from the remembrance of Allah and prayer, and is not accompanied by forbidden things such as exposing 'awrah (intimate body parts) and music, and does not interfere with prayer, an obligation, or the rights of parents. As for what contains nudity, looking at it is forbidden. Manifestations of violence and drugs are dangerous, especially for children. One should avoid such things and be keen to utilize time for what benefits in this world and the hereafter. The wise person is one who makes good use of their life. The Prophet, peace be upon him, warned against being deprived of health and free time, and the servant will be questioned on the Day of Resurrection about their life, wealth, body, and knowledge.
