The Ruling on Participating in Market Prizes When Purchasing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: There are many prizes in the markets given to those who are required to purchase items from these markets, such as cars and the like. What is the ruling on participating in them?
Answer:
This is consuming wealth unjustly. Also, this causes harm to oneself and to the owners of other shops who, like you, display goods and cars. You want to divert people from them to you and harm the others. This is not permissible. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade intercepting travelers, forbade intercepting incoming goods, and forbade a resident from selling wool. All of this is to prevent harm to the owners of markets and those engaged in buying and selling. Therefore, it is not permissible for anyone to take measures that divert people from others to himself. Yes.

May Allah reward you
