Playing a game with a halloween theme

· 18 Safar 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I play a game where you can decorate a room with furniture for diffrent kinds of houses around the world. On this game there recently came out to design a room for a bewitched/haunted house and you can get extra points. It doesn't really exist and they put that theme up because of halloween. I thought its haraam to design it but did non the less. Is it kufar what I have done. The one house they said was haunted and the other they said a lady built the house to appease her husbands ghost (I read that part only after I designed it and got points).

Answer

Make taubah and promise never to do such a thing again.

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