Betting on the occurrence or denial of a matter
What is the ruling on betting between two people: one claims that something has happened while the other denies it, and one of them bets that the one who is correct will receive a sum of money from the other?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: this is a form of gambling, so it is not permissible, and God knows best.
