The answer

Electronic games that contain elements of disbelief are forbidden, even if the player plays for entertainment and believes in the falsity of what they contain. Jurists such as Al-Bujairimi, Al-Halabi, and Al-Adawi emphasize that what is forbidden to do is also forbidden to look at or watch, because that is considered an approval of it or an assistance in sin, and playing includes looking and more.
