Bismihi Subhanahu Wa Ta'aalaa
Assalamu'alaikum w.w.

It is permissible to take part in competitions
provided:-

(1) They are of a Halaal nature, i.e. Do not promote a
haraaam product.

(2) There are no entry fees. E.g. completing a
consumer survey form where one's name is entered for a
free prize-draw.

(3) Prizes are Halaal. E.g. Cash, car etc.

Allah (SWT) Knows Best.
