The Ruling on the Prize in Camel Racing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Camel racing?
Answer:
All racing is good: with camels, running on foot, and horses. There is nothing wrong with racing, but the issue is the prize. The prize is only permissible in camels, horses, and arrows (archery). This is where the racing prize applies, meaning the reward; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1700Hasan (Darussalam). The hoof is for camels, the hoof is for horses, and the arrow is for archery.
