Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: When I opened my phone bill this time, I found a coupon in which one of the companies advertises, saying, “Oil change free for the holder of this coupon,” so what is the ruling on taking this oil for free when presenting the coupon to them?
Answer:
This is gambling, as you know. This is the same gambling; they call it prizes and incentives, or gambling, meaning consuming wealth unjustly. This also causes harm to shop owners, because if they did not do this, no one would come to them, so they are forced to do these things. Therefore, it is obligatory to prohibit them from the outset. Yes.
