Are Bonus And Gifts Considered Gambling?

[Muhammad hamza Yousaf]

Hi

I am not an alim neither I am associated with all mawrid so plz wait for their reply as well

I wanted to contribute to your question because this is somehow related to my field as well and I have researched alot in this field

All these games are actually gambling because there is no trade off.

Gambling refers to an activity where there is a bet ( no exchange of goods for money ) and in the result one loss the money and the casino / other player / game owner wins the money or sometimes they lose and player wins

Where’s in trade or business one spends money and in return gets good or services of the same worth or value as they agreed upon.

No one loose money. ( Exchange of goods and money or money and service happen )

This is a very thumb rule to differentiate btw trading / business and gambling.

Adding to these games. These days binary trading is also very popular and that’s also gambling because it’s straight betting ..

Whereas futures trading or spot trading is not gambling because that’s change of money for the stock on agreement.

Jazakallah

( I again want to clarify this is my personal opinion and I have nothing to do with Al mawrid or this app. Admin scholar will soon guide u. I thought of sharing my opinion because this is my field and I have done my research to some extent so thought of contributing jazakallah)

Bonus and gifts are not gambling.

Gambling, on the other hand, involves “mere chance” being played collectively by people (2 or more) where one party is bound to gain from other party’s loss. And the party gaining other party’s money had no moral right over it.
