Question:

As salaamu ’alaykum,

Is it permissible to sell movies? Would it be permissible to sell video games?

Answer:

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

الجواب حامدا ومصليا ومسلما

Wa ‘alaykum as salaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh,

It is not permissible to sell movies. It is permissible to sell video games so long as they do not contain any content that violate the mandates of shari’ah.

والله اعلم

And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala knows best.
