In Islamic teachings, gambling and lotteries are strictly prohibited as they are considered forms of maysir （games of chance） that involve uncertainty and can lead to financial harm and addiction. The Quran explicitly forbids such activities, emphasizing the importance of earning through lawful means.
In India, while lotteries are regulated and legal in some states, Muslims are advised to avoid participating in them to adhere to their faith\“s principles. Instead, they are encouraged to engage in halal business ventures and charitable acts.
Local Indian products, such as handicrafts, textiles, and agricultural goods, offer ethical alternatives for economic engagement. Supporting these industries aligns with Islamic values of fair trade and community welfare. |
