The first one is a game that has nudity or immoral haram content. These types of games are impermissible to play. The second category is games that don&rsquo;t have any immoral haram content but don&rsquo;t benefit the individual either. These types of games are permissible as long as the individual is not addicted to it, nor does it take over the individual&rsquo;s life or makes them miss their prayers. The last <a name=\"_GoBack\"><\/a>type of games is those that don&rsquo;t have any immoral haram content and benefit the individual by sharpening memory or recalling skills.

This is due to the nature of video games and also due to the fact that video games are considered as useless and playthings. For these reasons, it would be best to avoid a gaming centre as a business.<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\" title=\"\">[1]<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">Only Allah knows best<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">Written by Maulana Shadman Ahmed<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">Checked and approved by Mufti Mohammed Tosir Miah<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">Darul Ifta Birmingham<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<div>\n<hr align=\"left\" size=\"1\" width=\"33%\" \/>\n<div id=\"ftn1\">\n<p>\n\t\t\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\"><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\" title=\"\">[1]<\/a>Al-Marghin\u0101n\u012b. <em>al-Hid\u0101yah f\u012b shar<\/em><em>\u1e25<\/em><em> Bid\u0101yah al-Mubtad\u012b <\/em>(d.593H).
