I own a video game arcade. What is the ruling of Islamic law on this?
Video games, as previously explained, include what is forbidden and what is permissible. If the games contain forbidden elements, it is not permissible to use them as a means of earning, nor is it permissible to assist in playing them. However, if they are free from forbidden elements, the default ruling is permissibility for those who play them or earn from them.
