Muhaqqaq Masala

While Islamic Shariah has permitted many recreational games, it has strictly forbidden some games that are a source of mutual quarrels, waste of time, and gambling. For example, Chaupar, chess, pigeon flying, cockfighting, quail fighting, kite flying, making animals fight, video games, marbles (Goti), Ludo, playing cards, etc. There is no religious or worldly benefit in all these games except for harms, which is why they are all prohibited.
