Question:
He says: What is the ruling on the one who plays cards, and it does not occupy him from prayer?
Answer:
He should not play cards. The Muslim’s time is precious. Also, when one plays cards, he mixes with the foolish. Only the foolish play cards, and he mixes with them. He should avoid this matter. It is not befitting for a Muslim to waste his time in such trifles.
