Is it permissible to engage with Halal activities throughout the day, such as drawing, watching videos that have nothing bad in them, playing sport and so on?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

In principle yes, but we must keep in mind the importance of our time as our most important capital, and never waste our time in things which have no benefit for us in this life and hereafter. It is allowed to play sports and engage in recreation activities which have no wrong in it, but we should never neglect the importance of our time which should be used in achieving the main aims of our life for which we were been created.
