What is the ruling on electronic games in which it is stated that the player has lives or hearts (attempts)?

Islam does not prohibit recreation and permissible pleasures. The default ruling for electronic games is permissibility, as long as they do not hinder one from a religious duty or contain prohibited elements. Examples include games that depict wars between the good people of Earth and the evil people of the heavens, or those that sanctify the cross and symbols of disbelief, or glorify magic. However, games that involve granting the player extra lives or chances to live are permissible, as they fall under the category of play and entertainment, and Islamic law is lenient regarding matters of play. Likewise, Aisha was permitted to play with a winged horse. Nevertheless, caution must be exercised to ensure that these games do not contain religious symbols of false religions, such as the cross and Buddha statues.
