Question:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is making money from games haram in any way?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The fact that you are concerned about where your earnings are accrued from is praiseworthy. It makes evident your consciousness of All\u0101h Ta\u2019\u0101l\u0101 <\/em>and your desire to obey Him. The Prophet \ufdfa said, \u201cthat earning a halal income is an obligation beyond other obligations.\u201d [Shu\u2019bul Iman lil Bayhaqi: Hadith 8367<\/em>] [1]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All\u0101h Ta\u2019\u0101l\u0101 <\/em>also commands {do not aid in sin.} [Sur\u0101h M\u0101\u2019idah, 5:2<\/em>] [2]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Furthermore, the Prophet \ufdfa has said \u201cA time will come when one will not care how one gains one’s money, legally or illegally.” [Sahih Bukhari: Hadith<\/em> 2059<\/em>] [3]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

{Whosoever fears All\u0101h<\/em> (by abstaining from sins and fulfilling his obligations) All\u0101h<\/em> will open up ways for him out of every difficulty. All\u0101h<\/em> will provide sustenance for him from such avenues which he least perceives. Whoever places his trust in All\u0101h<\/em>, All\u0101h<\/em> will suffice him. Indeed, All\u0101h<\/em> will accomplish His purpose. All\u0101h<\/em> has already set a measure for all things.}\u00a0[Surah at-Talaq<\/em>; 65:2-3<\/em>] [4]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Prophet \ufdfa said that \u201cDo not delay (in earning) sustenance, for the servant will not die until his last provisions reach him. (So) take what is Hal<\/em>\u0101l <\/em>and leave what is Har\u0101m<\/em>.\u201d [Sahih Ibn Hibb\u0101n<\/em>: Hadith<\/em> 3239<\/em>] [5]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These are reminders for us that our earnings have already been fixed by All\u0101h Ta\u2019\u0101l\u0101<\/em>. Now, whether we choose to receive these earnings through Halal<\/em> means or Haraam<\/em> is up to us. One way or another, whatever has been destined for us will reach us.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nonetheless, it is upon us to go out and actively seek a Halal<\/em> means of earning and then we place our trust in All\u0101h Ta\u2019\u0101l\u0101<\/em> to grant it to us. This has always been the method of All\u0101h Ta\u2019\u0101l\u0101,<\/em> that is, we first have to make an effort and then All\u0101h’s<\/em> aid will reach us.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All\u0101h Ta\u2019\u0101l\u0101 <\/em>has informed us, {And from among the people, there is he who buys the distracting amusement of things, so that he, being devoid of knowledge, may mislead (people) from the Way of Allah and make a mockery of it. Such people are the ones for whom there is a disgraceful punishment.} [<\/em>Surah Luqman<\/em>, 31;6] [6]<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Any activity which takes us away from the path of Allah Ta\u2019\u0101l\u0101 or distracts us from His worship would be considered impermissible. Thus, the purchase and further sale of such games would be deemed impermissible. However, any game which does not fall under this category would be permissible to sell.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Only All\u0101h Ta\u2019\u0101l\u0101 <\/em>knows best.<\/span><\/p>\n
