    Is it? I played it a bit, and noticed some quests that had kufr in it.

    When you see kufr in it then why you ask it being halal or haram?

    ---, as long as its not an explicit game or overly suggestive or has bad language its fine. If it distracts from your duties as a muslim its not fine. Eg im a pretty big comic book fan and i read marvel comics regularly however i dont let it distract me from my islamic duties

    World of Warcraft and any such videogames are not Haram but muqrooh. They can be a source of time waste and an addiction as well.

    Some games are not bad, such as Brain Age, Car, Aeroplane and other simulator because they may also teach you something.

    Games like GTA and COD etc are Haram as they teach Haram.

    P.S I'd recommend you play undertale it's a beautiful videogame, just be sure to not kill anything in it.

    Re: Is World of Warcraft Haram or ?

    I would better advice you to NOT play such games. The only games that i play are puzzle games (Sudoku) or brain training on Nintendo DS.



    We know of hadith that Rasullah(saws) has said that the world will be filled with corruption. With that we look if that is so..what is being promoted?

    What we see is being promoted are for example these kind of things..

    - Riba
    - Alcohol
    - Music

    The more SOMETHING is being promoted the more fishy it gets. With that also games. Games are being HIGHLY promoted to play. HOW COME?? If games would have been good for our imaan, FOR SURE sheytan would NOT have promoted it right? You get what i am trying to say? You will be doing things in games that you are not aware are shirk, because doing something in a game also has some impact on our heart you know. I know the urge to want to play now and then a game, you are not the only one having that urge, but for the sake of Allah give it up and spend your time on beneficial things.

    No play only games that are not highly promoted, rather that you benefit from it and also can stop right now and do something else. Which means almost 99:9% of the games out there should not be played anymore.

    I myself was a BIG fan of Legend of Zelda games..however when i looked a bit more in to this..i stopped cold turkey. We have SOO MUCH more to do in our free time that is beneficial instead of playing games. Go learn a new language..go read a book about something..go watch a documentary..go get a new hobby that you learn something with it.

    With games i mean i have played GTA5..i have played almost ALL other GTA games..to counter strike to COD (Call of Duty) to Serious Sam series to pokemon games on Gameboy/gameboy advance/Nintendo (3)DS..to a lot of other games..but what have i benefited? Absolutely NOTHING. I have just wasted HOURS and HOURS of my time.

    Okay, I have uninstalled WoW and the Blizzard app. I don't want to become a hypocrite so yeah.

    I hate the shirk and kufr in it and obv I reject it. But I kind of want a HALAL version of MMORPG in Jannah.. With no shirk or kufr.

    Brother stop playing such games. Try to change this habit of yours. Playing games is a habit done in your free time. What you rather needs to ask yourself is what do i love to do? (i love for example gardening)..and reading books, documentaries, nature documentaries like the BBC nature documentaries.

    Right now it is part of your desire of wanting to play. If you long enough stay away from it..then automatically you will not miss it. So go find yourself things to do that are beneficial but also fun to do. You wanna learn to cook and make certain dishes? You want to learn certain profession ..internet is FULL of ebooks and knowledge.

    No joke, when I was younger I learnt how to make muffins and cakes lol.

    Right now, I like reading captivating stories without shirk or kufr in it obviously.

    I may want to bake something.

    Go do that. Do things that are beneficial. I mean playing games is SERIOUSLY killing time and you will not learn anything beneficial from it. So go learn things that you feel proud of knowing it or doing it.

    Re: Is World of Warcraft Haram or ?

    Used to, all my friends did, but stopped playing a few years ago. The game got stale for us and we all moved on to other stuff.

    On topic, I don't think the game is Haram nor a big waste of time. Non gamers and/or non wow players would be surprised at how much the game can teach you about social skills, economics, organization, etc.

    You'll probably get a lot of different opinions from everyone though, and many will probably be a lot more knowledgeable than me when it comes to this stuff.

    However many of the (Muslim) friends I played with are really knowledgeable and observant in regards to the deen and had no problems playing it. Heck, those nerds are the ones who got me into it in the first place :/
