Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is wagering permissible based on the action of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) with the polytheists?
Answer:
Is it authentic? This is not authentic. It is mentioned in the beginning of Surat al-Rum. Ibn Kathir mentioned this, but he criticized the chain of narration, so it is not authentic. Otherwise, if it were authentic, it would be evidence. Yes.
