Winning Umrah through a Draw
I went to a shopping mall and they asked everyone present to pay ten dinars each. After that, they held a draw for the names of the people who paid the money, and I won an Umrah. Is this Umrah haram because it is from haram money? Does this resemble gambling? Should I go for Umrah or not because it is from a suspicious source?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Yes, this is a form of gambling, and it is forbidden. Therefore, the expenses for Umrah would be from forbidden and impure money, and God knows best.
