In India, the lottery is a popular form of gambling that involves purchasing tickets for a chance to win cash or other prizes. Many local products, such as state-run lotteries in Kerala or Sikkim, are widely available. These games are often promoted as a way to generate revenue for public welfare projects. However, from an Islamic perspective, gambling is considered haram （forbidden） because it involves uncertainty and can lead to addiction and financial loss. Muslims in India are advised to avoid participating in lotteries and instead focus on halal income sources. |
