What is the ruling on the game of Belote?

The questioner : This is a very important question. What is the ruling on playing the game of Blot? The question mentions the words of one of the noble scholars, who said that this game is not permissible to play because it contains the belief in the Trinity, which is the belief of the Christians. The point is that he asked some of those who used to play this game how they came to know about it. They said that the image of the boy in the game refers to 'Isa (peace be upon him), the image of the girl refers to Maryam (peace be upon him), and the image of the old man, and the phrase "Glorified is Allah" , refers to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). So what is your guidance on this?

The Shaykh : As for their intention regarding the old man, the old woman, and the girl, I do not claim to know. As for the game in itself, our Shaykh 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Sa'di (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned that it is forbidden and not permissible because it distracts greatly and wastes time, and there may be disputes and quarrels between the players, and the stake involved may be something prohibited. It has harms in reality, and for this reason our Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) was certain that it is forbidden and not permissible.

The presenter : A need for something.

The Shaykh : If what the questioner said is true, then it is darkness upon darkness, yes.
