The Father’s Prize for His Sons in Competitions and the Meaning of Interdiction

The questioner:
If he grants a prize to his sons by any means, and to those who are not participants in the questions, is this permissible? And is it called a gift, or is it a matter of cause?

The Shaykh:
If the prize is for… yes… for matters that the Shari'ah has permitted, such as racing horses, archery, and horsemanship, or for legal or scholarly questions, there is no objection to it. This is because he is not giving it to them except in return for effort and work, and also as a form of upbringing for them. So there is no harm in that. Yes.

The questioner:
What is meant by “his actions are to be invalidated, so they are not to be acted upon”?

The Shaykh:
Interdiction means prevention. The meaning of interdiction is prevention. So they are not to be executed; they are not to be executed. This means it is not permissible for the judge to execute them; rather, he invalidates them. Yes.
