Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: My son wants to buy a PlayStation console, which is a game, and I do not want him to have it, but his maternal uncles are insisting on it. What is your advice?
Answer:
If it does not harm his religion or his mind, and it is just a game for a young child to play, with no images, no music, and no prohibitions involved, then there is no harm in buying it. Yes.
