Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
No. Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some commercial establishments place a card for every customer who buys from them, and each time he buys from them, they give him a point, so that when he accumulates two hundred points, he is entitled to buy for free an amount worth ninety riyals.
Answer:
This is from gambling (maysir), and it is not permissible. This is consuming wealth unlawfully and harming the owners of other establishments in order to take their customers, so this practice is not permissible. Yes.
