What is the ruling on semi-realistic games that contain images of women? And is it permissible to film gameplay and upload it to YouTube without music or anything that displeases Allah? And what is the ruling on the sound of a woman in games?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The fatwa issued permits playing electronic games free from Sharia prohibitions, such as not distracting from the remembrance of Allah and obligatory duties, and being free from gambling, music, alluring nude images, and not leading to enmity and hatred. Images of women in games are permissible unless they lead to corruption or temptation, as are their normal, unbroken voices. If the game is permissible and free from prohibitions, there is no harm in filming and uploading it.
