The verse shows that there have been people who prevented themselves from even lawful adornments of this world. There is a verse in the Quran that says: “Say: Who has forbidden the adornment of Allah which He has brought forth for His servants, and the good things of provision?’ Say, ‘These are for the faithful in the life of this world, and exclusively for them on the Day of Resurrection.’ Thus do We elaborate the signs for a people who have knowledge.” (7: 32) Now, let’s revise some of these fundamental frameworks to find out if watching movies and animations are forbidden in Islam or not. Having those fundamental frameworks in mind, we can always have a criterion to distinguish the lawfulness or forbiddance of any new issue that may arise in our individual or social life. Those are the Islamic laws that are extracted from the Quran and narrations. The Fundamental Frameworks Regarding Watching MoviesĪlthough there is no direct mention of movies in the Quran, Islam has provided us with some fundamental frameworks that describe the freedoms and redlines of the religion. Thus, we should be able to find out the Islamic viewpoint about watching movies and animations which, indeed, have a central role in most of our lives these days. Instead, it is a universal religion that can be a guideline for all human beings, anywhere and anytime. However, Islam is not a contextual religion that was only suitable for people of its own time.
The fact is that many issues did not exist 1400 years ago, and therefore, there is no direct mention of them in the Quran or narrations of the Prophet (PBUH&HP). We might found many of them to have some contradictions with Islamic rules.
Nowadays, being surrounded by different types of media products, one may be bewildered if all these movies and animations are lawful (Halal) or not.
