Question
Assalamu Alaikum Sheikh, I have a doubt on this function, I play games on my PS4 which everybody knows this popular game called FORTNITE, is it ok if I play it on Ramadan?
Answer
Wa'alaykumsalaam Wa Rahmatullah
Playing games is a permissible act. Playing games with immoral values is not permissible.
Playing any games during the prayer time is not permissible.
So, if you are playing a game that does not involve any immoral activities is OK as long as you are not addicted to it, playing it so often that you are neglecting your prayers or recitation of the Quran or helping the parents is not permissible.
You may play like a moderate time in shaa Allah.
Allah knows best
