Ruling on Placing Prizes for Shop Customers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A person says: I have a commercial shop, and I place prizes for the customers, but I buy these prizes before putting up the advertisement, meaning I do not buy these prizes from the customers' money. Is my work in this valid or not?
Answer:
He should leave this off; because it may harm those around him. He gives them prizes to encourage them to buy from him, and he diverts people from others. So the safest course is to leave that off, and be like the people.
