What is the ruling on watching or reading stories that include characters with supernatural abilities, such as mind-reading or using magical tools that cause death?
As for stories, films, and series that carry messages and calls affecting a Muslim's creed, watching them is forbidden, except for those who are fortified with sufficient knowledge to repel doubts. However, if they are merely fictional stories that do not carry a call or message that contradicts creed and values, such as talking animals or imaginary creatures, the original ruling is permissibility, provided they are free from other forbidden elements such as forbidden images or musical instruments.
