Question: Raffle tickets

Assalamu Alykum


Recently a sister asked me about what she shud do in this situation...she purchased a raffle ticket sold to her from her child's school and won a small prize. It then occured to her that it was a form of gambling, therefore should she give the prize away to charity? Or should she give the money spent on the ticket to charity?


Jazakallah

In the above mentioned case the prize should be given to charity without the intention of gaining any reward. والله اعلم
