Playing games like Brawl Stars, Fortnite, and Roblox
Q: Are games like Brawl Stars, Fortnite, and Roblox haraam?
I believe so because there's music in them and 3d images/sculptures of living beings which is haraam. Even if we're not the ones making them, we can change them and when we play them, we give money and popularity to them which is haraam because we should be spreading good, not publicizing haraam in a good way.

Q: The company I work for hosts a soccer event once a year for all African countries and this year the event falls in Ramadaan.
