Question
Is Watching Anime Permissible with Some Having Magic as a Power Source?
Answer
Scholars say that if the content is free from inappropriate images, immoral behavior, and themes, and does not glorify impermissible things like magic or alcohol, then it would be considered permissible. This is especially true if there is a practical benefit to the content, such as in your study of English.
