Ruling on watching movies and TV, and playing cards, during the day in Ramadaan

Some people who are fasting spend most of the day in Ramadaan watching
movies and soapoperas on video and TV, and playing cards. What is the
Islamic view on that?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Those who are fasting and other Muslims should fear Allaah with regard
to whatthey do and what they refrain from doing at all times, and they
should beware of that which Allaah has forbidden of watching indecent
movies which show things which Allaah has forbidden, such as pictures
of naked and semi-naked people and evil words; the same applies to
things that appear on TV which go against the laws of Allaah, such as
images, songs, musical instruments and misleading advertisements.
Every Muslim, whether he is fasting or not, should be beware of
playing with cards, because of what that involves of witnessingevil
and doing evil, and because it also leads to hard-heartedness,
sicknessin the heart and lack of respect for Allaah's laws and finding
what Allaah has made obligatory to be burdensome, such as praying in
congregation and other obligatory duties, and falling into many haraam
things. Allaah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the
meaning):
"And of mankind is he whopurchases idle talks (i.e. music, singing) to
mislead (men) from the path of Allaah without knowledge,and takes it
(the path of Allaah, or the Verses of the Qur'aan) by way of mockery.
For such there will be a humiliating torment (in the Hell-fire).
7. And when Our Verses (ofthe Qur'aan) are recited to such a one, he
turns away in pride, as if he heard them not -- as if there were
deafness in his ear. So announce to him a painful torment"
[Luqmaan 31:6-7]
And Allaah says in Soorat al-Furqaan, describing the slaves of the
Most Merciful (interpretation of the meaning):
"And those who do not bear witness to falsehood, and if they pass by
some evil play or evil talk, they pass by it with dignity"
[al-Furqaan 25:72].
Falsehood includes all kinds of evil, and what is meant by "[they] do
not bear witness" is that they are not present. The Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "There willbe among my ummah
people who regard adultery, silk, alcohol and music as permissible."
Narrated by al-Bukhaari in his Saheeh in a mu'allaq, majzoom report.
What is meant by music is singing and musical instruments. Allaah has
forbidden to theMuslims the means that cause them to fall into
evil.Undoubtedly watching evilfilms and the evils that areshown on
television are means that cause one to fall into evil or to become
careless and not denounce it. And Allaah is the One whose help we
seek. End quote.
Majmoo' Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn Baaz (15/315).
These sins detract from thereward of fasting, and mayerase it altogether.
