Peace be upon you.
Ayatollah Khamenei: If the game involves gambling or betting, or leads to harmful consequences such as forbidden gazing, prohibited conversations, or inciting desires in any form, then it is not permissible.
Ayatollah Sistani: This game is not permissible with betting, and it is strongly recommended to avoid it even without betting if it is inherently a gambling game. However, if it is not a gambling game and is free from betting, it is permissible unless it falls under another prohibited category. Young people should choose to entertain themselves with activities that do not lead to addiction, which could result in wasting their time and future. The primary focus in life should be on studying at the right time and then working diligently in a profession to establish a family and earn a living.
