Mobile games and video games

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: What does Islam say about indoor games like mobile games, video games, etc. I am doing a job and busy in it. I want to play games because I dont have any other entertainment but my wife stops me. We dont have TV so I get bored. I think that its better to play games instead of going out and getting involved in bad things. Please guide us.

Bismillaah

A: Go out in jamaat. Do some kitaab reading daily with some Qur’aan recitation.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
