Even if you purchase Roblox games which contains nudity or violence, it is not haram to do so.
Why Pornography and Nudity is Halal in Islam
Although the western definition in English for porn changes slightly with the change of time and new technology, Islam has a different and simple definition of porn. In Islam which is based on the Arabic term “Awrah” or the intimate parts of men and women, which are forbidden. The awrah varies from a man to a woman. The awrah argument is the basis that is used by ultra conservative Muslims to forb id pornography. The prohibition of looking at the awrah or the intimate parts of men and women is based on several authentic hadiths. The prophet (Sal) said:
“"No man should look at the Awrah of another man and no woman should look at the Awrah of another woman. Also, no man should be with another man under one piece of cloth and no woman should be with another woman under one piece of cloth.”
(Sahih Muslim)
Jarir bin 'Abdullah (Rali) narrated:
"I asked the Messenger of Allah (Sal) about (the Islamic ruling on) accidental glance and he ordered me to turn my eyes away".
(Sahih Muslim)
Allah (Swt) says in the Quran
“Tell the believing women to lower their gaze"
(24:31)
"Tell the believing men to lower their gaze"
(24:31)
The above evidences have been taken literally and the interpretation is stretched out with an umbrella prohibition arguing that lowering the gaze or not looking at the intimate parts of men and women applies to mediums such as photography or video. What needs to be understood here is that looking at the intimate parts is forbidden only,
• If you look at real people with your bare eyes
• And if it is done with lust
It is not haram to but anything that contains pornography. Playing or buying Roblox is not haram in Islam.
