    Report bad ads?

    Salam

    I came to this website and is it true its haram,

    http://ebrahimsaifuddin.wordpress.co...ible-in-islam/

    I mean I play videos game but have not forgotten Allah (SWT). And inappropriate content well its not like I do something bad or carry those actions out..its just fun

    But if it is Haram then this means I can't choose game design or programming as my career?

    I wouldn't take advice from sheikh Google. Playing video games isn't haram per se. As long as you play in moderation and stick to non violent games, I personally don't see a problem

    I wouldn't encourage anyone to become a game developer. In Islam, we are not allowed to draw pictures of living things, I would imagine you will need to do that when creating a game so I'd say stay well clear.

    There are better career paths to choose

    studying game design is just like learning how to write

    if you really like it then go ahead
    but consider other options first

    it's not an easy job from what I've read

    Well its the only thing I can really do since I am good with computers, unless I get a B or C in maths I can move to something else.....Btw I was thinking of game programming that's writing code so nothing wrong there...but I will need a B for that

    That's an interesting question, although the code results in pictures, you are not actually drawing the picture yourself, but causing a machine to do it. That's probably not a meaningful distinction, but it is interesting.
