What is the ruling on buying magazines and newspapers for the sake of the competitions in them?

Question : He says: What is the ruling on buying some newspapers and magazines, specifically to participate in some of the competitions held in them?

Answer : If the one who buys the magazines and newspapers that contain a competition buys them for the sake of the competition, it is not permissible.
Because he will spend money, and if he spends money, he will either be a gainer or what? Or a loser. Because if he wins the competition, if he wins the prize, he is a gainer, and if he does not win, he is a loser. He spent money without benefit. But if it is his habit to buy these newspapers, but when he saw the competition in them, he said, "If I participate," then this is permissible, and if he wins the prize, it is his.
This is regarding the one who buys them. But regarding the people of the newspapers who put them in, is it permissible for them to include these competitions? We say: If including the competition necessitates increasing the price of the newspaper or magazine, then this is forbidden, because they will deceive people and trick them. But if the price of the magazine is the usual price, then there is no harm in that.
