Because of husband’s game and mobile addiction, one Iraqi Kurdish women asked the court for divorce and said it is the only option, what type of marriage is this when Husband is distracted and do not pay attention to you.”
The imams who issued fatwa said wasting time is unIslamic,
Irfan Rasheed from Kurdistan Union of Scholars said, “The game not only wastes one’s time but also affect vision when played on mobile phones, it also affects the body and make people sluggish, the Prophet SAW has advised us to protect the body which has rights on us.
