What is the ruling on money acquired from selling electronic game points for real money, and is its seller or buyer considered sinful?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The basic principle is that it is permissible to sell in-game points if the game itself is permissible, and the points have real, permissible utility, and the purchase is not gambling. If these conditions are met, then it is permissible; otherwise, it is not. Most of these games do not adhere to regulations, therefore, you should not participate in this project, and you should advise your friends likewise. Lawful and clear sustenance is abundant.
