It is not permissible to neglect or delay a prescribed prayer past its time. It is also not permissible for unrelated men and women to mix. And everything that leads to the forbidden is forbidden. Therefore, the aforementioned games are not permissible due to the consequences of delaying the ‘Ishā’ prayer, the possibility of neglecting the Fajr prayer, and the forbidden mixing. The owner of the games must stop them at prayer times and enjoin good and forbid evil.
