The question

Is completing a game that contains an offensive statement against the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, based on a fabricated story, considered disbelief (kufr) or alliance with disbelievers, bearing in mind that the game contains nothing else against Islam?

The answer

There is no objection to electronic games if they are free of Shariah prohibitions, such as corrupt beliefs, or advocacy for vice, or gambling, or裸 pictures, or music, and that they do not become a means of neglecting prayers and obligatory duties.

As for the mentioned phrase, if it is proven to contain any denigration of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, then it is not permissible to play the game that contains it, and its prohibition is self-evident. Merely playing it is not disbelief. The period of abstinence from pornographic films does not justify playing prohibited games.
