Ruling on sales offers with prizes

Question:
We received this question, in which the questioner says: Sales offers and product promotions are common in commercial establishments, especially at the beginning of seasons, on the condition that you buy, and the condition is a box, and you open this box to find the prize designated for you, which may be a bicycle, a car, or something else. What is the ruling on buying from these goods? And what is the ruling on trade that adopts such a method?

Answer:
These prizes are not permissible, and they are a form of gambling (maysir). Also, they cause harm to others, such as the neighbors from the other shops, because people turn to him wanting the prize and leave the people of the other shops. So there is harm in it. Therefore, the merchants who own the shops should abandon this bad habit. If someone comes to buy from them, they sell to him without a prize. And if he goes to their brothers, there is no doubt, let the people be, for Allah provides for some of them from others, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said. Yes.
