What is the ruling on electronic games?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on electronic games without images or music?

Answer:
If it involves amusement and occupies the mind, it is not permissible. Whether it is cartoon-based or otherwise. Anything that distracts from the remembrance of Allah and obedience to Allah, and even from what benefits a person in his religion and worldly life, is not permissible. Yes.
