What is the ruling on the presence of buildings resembling churches in electronic games if no cross appears on them, and what is the ruling on the presence of animated images resembling statues, and is it possible to avoid the appearance of the statue's face therein?

If the questioner suffers from waswasah (whispers/obsessive thoughts) and doubts about some electronic games arise in his heart, he may abandon them. Mere suspicions do not form the basis for a ruling, and the default status of things is permissibility. As for the images of statues found in games, their ruling is the same as the ruling for images of animate beings.
