Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. A man who is far from his family and has a three-day vacation every week said to him: I will give you a sum of thirty dinars on the condition that you do not go to your family during this vacation, and if you break the condition and go to your family during the vacation, you will pay a sum of two hundred dinars. Is this considered a wager?
Answer:
This is all invalid, and it is not permissible to prevent him from going to his family, given the harm this causes to his family. So this is an action that is not permissible, and it is not permissible to take compensation for it. Yes.
