No wonders muslims are in a sorry state of despair compared to the advanced civilization of the WEST. Basically our so called learned and wise elders are stuck in a stone age mentality when even chess is being compared to alcohol. Everything low iq is HALAL.

These fake ulemas will be the first thrown in hellfire in judgement day as they have failed their duties enormously.

Its just ulama worrying about minutiae in the middle ages when other aspects of religion were settled. Back then law, sex, marriage were settled, they only cared about small details. Its reversed now.

chess is waste of time, chess if you know anything about it is useless. A civilization doesn't advance because of chess, it hinders them. Chess is a wasteful hobby.
