The Shaykh : So who is being addressed in this case, the owner of the prize or the buyer? Yes, the one being addressed is the buyer. As for the first scenario where the price was increased, both parties are addressed. But in this case, the buyer is addressed. It is said that there is nothing wrong with buying from someone who has placed a prize, but on the condition that you buy what you need. As for buying what you do not need, hoping that you will succeed in this competition, that is a matter of wasting money. It has reached me that some people buy cans of milk that have a prize on them and pour them out in the markets or in any place. They buy a can, open it, and if they do not find the prize number, they pour out the milk. They buy a second can, and so on. Perhaps they buy twenty cans when they do not need even one. This is corruption of money and wasting of money.
Some people say that these prizes are forbidden in all cases, whether they involve wasting money or gambling and maysir (gambling) or not, because they restrict others. For example, the shop owner who placed this prize, people come to him to buy from him and they neglect the others, and this is harming them. We say this is correct, but the authorities of the country should intervene in this. That is to say, the supervising authorities should intervene in this. And if they see that this person has prevented people from buying from others by the prize he placed, they have the right to prevent him. But as for him, there is nothing wrong with him placing it if he did not intend to harm others, because he will say, "I placed a prize worth one thousand riyals. Why do they not place a prize like mine worth one thousand riyals, or less, or more? I did not prevent them." So if he did not intend to harm others, then there is nothing wrong with his action. But the market supervisors who are appointed by the state, if they see that this is harmful to others, should prevent this. Yes.
