Designing educational games

· 25 Shawwal 1437 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I am working as a gaming programmer. I intend to design educational games that will not contain any music or pictures of animate objects. Is this allowed in Islam?

Answer

If it does not contain music or pictures of animate objects, it will be permissible.

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