How does one gamble with eggs?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : How does one gamble with them?
The Shaykh : Huh?
The questioner : How does one gamble with them?
The Shaykh : One gambles with them, using them for gambling, yes! Among the forms in which they are used for gambling is what some people do: they say, "Take this egg and break it either across or lengthwise. If you break it lengthwise, you get one hundred riyals; if you do not break it, you owe one hundred riyals." This is part of the gambling for which eggs are used.
Did you understand? I mean, if someone gave you an egg and said, "Break it lengthwise," no matter what you do, you cannot do it except with a stone, perhaps. But with your hands, you press on it, and it is not possible, absolutely not possible, yes.
