The questioner : May Allah reward the honorableThe Shaykh : Computer games have appeared that include competitions in which the cross sometimes appears. So, what is your guidance, may Allah guide you?
The Shaykh : My guidance is what I mentioned a moment ago: the cross must be erased, or broken if it cannot be erased. Know that if a young child becomes accustomed to looking at the cross and is exposed to it frequently, he will come to take it lightly. And "When exposure becomes frequent, sensitivity decreases". It is obligatory for us to protect our children from anything containing crosses, whether it is what is seen on the computer, or on the small cars that boys play with, some of which have a cross on the side or the back. We must keep our children away from all of this.
