Are video games with characters who have superpowers allowed? These games have characters who can control air, fire, water, or ice, but none have the power to revive the dead or know the unseen. My intention is to have fun and avoid Haram influences.
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

As far as you know that these game characters are just imaginations, you are allowed to play the game, but don’t waste time on things which no real have benefit for you.

Does playing video games that involves violence break your fast?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It does not break the fast no matter how bad it is. Fast breaks only in commuting any of the nine Mufattiraat ( fasting invalidating acts)e.g. Eating, drinking, smoking, lying on Allah or on The Infallible etc.

Many sinful acts do not invalidate fast despite the fact that they are sinful.

I told Allah that I will not play video games anymore, but I feel if I play in a limited manner it will help in stress reduction. Can I take back my words to Allah?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

You can not take back your promise to Allah (SWT) as far as you are able to fulfill it even with reasonable difficulty. If you don't fulfill your promise to Allah, it will a sinful act, and you must face a heavy Kaffara which is called Kaffara of breaking the promise كفارة العهد which is feeding sixty poor believers.

Wassalam.
