Question:
A company placed a prize at a commercial establishment and set up a competition for this prize, with no purchase required. What is the ruling on participating in it?
Answer:
Leave these prizes that they put on sales, and leave them; do not be deceived by them. These are advertisements, and they also harm other merchants who do not offer such prizes, diverting people and customers away from them. Therefore, this is not permissible. Yes.
