Q: Respected Mufti Saheb. In regard to the soccer world cup which is presently being held, certain people make dua for their favourite teams to win. Some people perform salaah or give sadaqah with the intention that the team they support should win. There are even some people who make sajdah or perform salaah when their favourite team scores a goal or wins a match. Are all these actions permissible?
Certain people, on being corrected and told that they should not carry out such actions, retort by saying that we should keep deen separate, and sport and entertainment separate. We should not mix the two. Is it correct to make such a statement?

Q:
1. Is it permissible to play Roblox while doing dhikr in one's mind to avoid wasting time? Though at times one may forget to do so. Some aspects of the game include:
• Free mixing. Avoidable, though a non mahram may approach.
• Clothing (for the characters) that are inappropriate in front of non mahrams. Avoidable.
• Players using heads and faces (can lead to exposing images of animate beings from one's device.)
• Games that include impermissible aspects. Avoidable.
So, the Haram aspects can be avoided In shaa Allah, but other players can engage in it.
Also, the game consists of a variety of other games (exploration games, designing outfits, maybe riddles or the like etc.).
2. Is it permissible to replace the head using some other object like a watch, flower, planets etc. as long as it doesn't have a face or isn't the head of an animal or person?
