Would  my prayers get rejected for 40 days for playing such a game.

Q:

I use to play game called guilds war 2. There is a character that is called a necromancer is it halal or haram to play this necromancer. Would  my prayers get rejected for 40 days for playing such a game.

A:

Salamun Alaykum

Thank you for your query.

It is not permissible to play games, if it is a kind of promotion or approval of forbidden and deviant content. But if it isn’t the case then there is no problem in playing games and prayers won’t get rejected. Even if you had played something which was impermissible, still your prayers won’t get rejected but you can ask for forgiveness and play

In general, it is not allowed to play games that have some of the following characteristics:

1. If it has lustful stimulus scenes.

2. If it promotes false and anti-Islamic symbols and content such as Satanism, Zionism etc.

3. If it insults Islamic symbols or Muslims.

4. Some materialistic valuable is taken from the laser and given to the winner.

5. If it is illegal and against the rules.

You have to identify and if you think computer games do have any of the above mentioned things then it is Haram to play.

May Allah(swt) grant you success
