What is the ruling on video games such as FIFA 14, and do they fall under the category of animate beings? And what is the ruling on creating a bloody war game that encourages violence?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Similarly, creating a bloody war game and the potential for it to lead to habitual violence does not necessarily mandate a decisive prohibition of its creation, as the default rule is permissibility.
