Question:

Assalamu Alaykum,

Does becoming a paying member of a videogame which has Shirk and Kufr and purchasing cinema tickets make one a Kafir?

Answer:

Wa Alaikum As Salaam,

Becoming a paying member in a videogame, purchasing cinema tickets and other similar acts are totally haram in Islam and Muslims must desist from these acts. However, this will not constitute Kufr.
