Objectives of lottery and gambling : gambling and lottery are forbidden in spite of a good objective
Fatawa Question
My parents buy lottery tickets because they want the money to help our family financially, for example see to it that my grandmother gets a house and everyone in my family has no debt, etc. They only want to help others and do good things with the money if they ever win. My question is : would that money be good--not Haram" if they use it for good reasons to help other Muslims ? I know gambling and buying lottery tickets are Haram things but I wondered if the money is acceptable if it was used for good and not wastefully ? Thank you.
