Is it considered gambling or is it only considered gambling if money or something with monetary value is involved?

I know nothing about this card game, but Generally speaking, for any sporting event , once prize money is not taken from any money competitors pay such as entrance fees etc, then its not considered as gambling.

Can I play cards if there is no gambling involved?


Question
As-salāmu 'alaykum If a group of people play games with playing cards, without gambling, is this still counted as haram? I have heard this is the case. Please explain in detail. Jzk. Wassalaam

Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.




It is Haram to play cards if gambling is involved. If gambling is not involved, then it will not be Haram. However, the nature of games played with cards entails a general ruling of dislike (Karahiyyat) as they contain elements of Haram such as animate pictures and the general association of cards with gambling. Such games distract one from Allah’s remembrance, and often prevent one from fulfilling his/her Shar’i duties.[1]



Thus, one should abstain from playing cards even if it does not involving gambling.[2]



And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

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 .
