Participating in Instagram Contests
What is the ruling on participating in contests on social media platforms like Instagram? For example, is it permissible to enter a draw to win a cash prize in exchange for following certain people, where the draw is random? Is it permissible to participate in such contests?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: If there is no gambling in it, and the prize is merely a donation, and it does not lead to deception or the spread of immorality, then it is permissible, and God knows best.
