The ruling on competitions held by drawing card numbers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: What is the ruling on a tape recorder that I won from a telephone booth? They held a drawing of numbers, and I won the recorder, knowing that I use it for good?

The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah.

The questioner:
He says that he won a recorder, and this recorder came to him through a drawing for a competition. They set up a competition and his name came out.

The Shaykh:
And previously in any matter.

The questioner:
That one time he went to a booth and called from the booth, and they said: anyone who calls from this booth, we will give him a number, and at the end of the month a name from the numbers or a number from the numbers will come out, and this man's name came out. Is it permissible for him to take the tape recorder?

The Shaykh:
He builds up wealth in this, he builds up wealth when he says tasbih, he builds up wealth.

The questioner:
Yes, it seems he builds up wealth if he wants to make a phone call.

The Shaykh:
As long as he builds up wealth, it is from the value. Yes.

The questioner:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, if he takes this recorder, what does he do with it?

The Shaykh:
He does not take it, he does not do it.

The questioner:
He returns it to them.

The Shaykh:
He returns it to him.
