Praise be to Allaah.
The Standing Committee was asked about playing cards if that does not distract people from prayer and there is no money involved. They answered:
Playing cards is not permitted, even if there is no money involved, because the problem with that is that it distracts people from remembering Allaah (dhikr) and from prayer. Even if they claim that this is not the case, then it is still a means that may lead to gambling which is expressly forbidden in the Qur’aan. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), and gambling, and Al-Ansaab (stone altars for sacrifices to false gods) and Al-Azlaam (arrows for seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of Shaytaan’s (Satan’s) handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that (abomination) in order that you may be successful”
[al-Maa’idah 5:90]
These cards have an effect on society, for the bonds of a strong society are achieved by means of two things: following the commands of Allaah and heeding His prohibitions. A society disintegrates when it neglects any of those duties or does any of those things that are forbidden. These cards form one of the factors which have an effect on society. They cause people to neglect prayer in congregation, and they generate alienation, breaking of ties, hatred and negligence through the committing of haraam actions, and they make people too lazy to earn a living.
سئلت اللجنة الدائمة عن لعب الورق إذا كان لا يلهي عن الصلاة ومن غير أموال فأجابت :
اللعب بالورق لا يجوز ، ولو كان بغير عوض ، لأن الشأن فيه أنه يشغل عن ذكر الله وعن الصلاة ، وإن زعم أنه لا يصدُّ عن ذلك ، ثم هو ذريعة إلى الميسر المحرم بنص القرآن ، قال تعالى : ( إنما الخمر والميسر والأنصاب والأزلام رجس من عمل الشيطان فاجتنبوه لعلكم تفلحون ) المائدة .
وهذه اللعبة لها أثر على المجتمع ، فإن روابط المجتمع السليم تتحقق بأمرين : اتباع أوامر الله واجتناب نواهيه ، ويتفكك المجتمع بترك شيء من الواجبات أو فعل شيء من المحرمات ، وهذه اللعبة من العوامل التي تؤثر على المجتمع ، فهي سبب في ترك الصلاة جماعة ، وينشأ عنها التباعد والتقاطع والشحناء والتساهل في ارتكاب المحرمات كما أنها مورثة للكسل عن طلب الرزق .
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
