The questioner : What is the ruling on betting with a stake in all matters?
The Shaykh : Betting with a stake is not permissible except in three cases: camels, where they race them, and horses
and arrows, meaning archery. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted a stake in these, and anything other than that is not permissible.
The questioner : Does the betting of the disbelievers of Quraysh indicate a stake?
The Shaykh : The hadith of Abu Bakr is from the chapter of knowledge, and religious knowledge is like jihad in the path of Allah. Yes.
