Prizes and competitions on chance : competition without paying money and winning a prize
Fatawa Question
Dear Dr. Monzer, Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuh, Recently, some companies in the field of mobile technology offered prizes for those who buy their SIM card and voluntarily participate in the competition. It should be known that the participants will not bear any extra money for their participation in the competition and the winner will win a big prize. Only one or two SIM card numbers are going to be chosen randomly as winners and thus will be given a prize without paying any money to the company offering the prize. What's Islam's stance on this issue ? Does it tantamount to the prohibited gambling and betting ? Pleas elaborate. Jazakum Allahu Khairan for your constant help Yours,
Fatwa
