Assalamu alykum,

My question is regarding taking part in raffles. If somebody takes part in a raffle draw, wins the prize and then realises it was not allowed, what should they do with the prize? Would it be sufficient to give the money spent on the raffle ticket to charity and keep the prize?

Jazakallah



Assalamu'alaikum w.w.

The prize (not the price of the raffle ticket) should
be given away to the poor without any intention of
reward.
