What is the ruling on a group game that contains an offensive character who wishes for death and return to life, and is it permissible to play it with the sound turned off?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
What we can clarify regarding the game is that if it is free from legal prohibitions, playing it is permissible. What you have mentioned about the game does not indicate anything that would necessitate its prohibition, and turning off the sound removes the prohibition related to what is forbidden to hear. Therefore, playing it is not forbidden from this aspect.
