Question
Here in the U.S.A. prisons there is a card game called magic similar to dungeons and dragons mostly played by the kuffaar. But recently Muslims too are playing this game. In this game monsters and spirits are summoned, and spells are cast. Muslims here argue that this game is not real magic and does not harm Imaan. What is the position of a person who believes that this type of game is permissible?
Answer
A person who indulges in the evil fake magic game which you have described is a faasiq. The sin of indulging in a game which involves calling on devils, demons and spirits is akin to shirk. It is worse than the other haraam games. In this evil game of fake magic there is the likelihood of a person losing his Imaan.
