Resolution No.(47): “Ruling on Giving Cash Prizes to Encourage the Audience to Attend Football Matches“

Date: 15/10/1421 AH corresponding to 10/1/2001 AD.

 

The Board has received the following question:

What is the ruling of Sharia on organizing a program for cash and in-kind prizes through stadium entering tickets, in accordance with the following:

The first part of the ticket:

Cash prizes through "scratch and win" to motivate sport fans to purchase tickets to attend matches. This idea also promotes tickets and makes them more desirable and so the ordinary people will be encouraged to buy them and attend matches.

The second part of the ticket:

This part is for entering matches, and there will be in-kind prize drawing during matches to encourage the audience to attend.

We would like to draw your attention to the fact that the sponsoring company will provide gifts in return for placing its logo or advertisements on the ticket.

Answer: All success is due to Allah.

The Board deems that this activity is permissible within the following terms:

1- The price of the ticket doesn`t exceed that determined by the Jordanian Football Federation because of the prizes, so that no extra money is charged against participating in the prize drawing.

2- Making sure that the prizes are provided by the sponsor.

3- The ticket must be purchased with the sole intention of attending the match. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is considered a woman`s Awrah (parts of the body that must be concealed during prayer) while offering prayer, and is her foot part of it?

A woman`s whole body is considered an Awrah while offering prayer except the hands and the face. Thus, her foot is an Awrah as well. And Allah Knows Best.

Is an animal that results from crossbreeding between two types of livestock (an'ām) valid [for sacrifice]?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings upon our master, the Messenger of Allah.
An animal that results from crossbreeding between two types of livestock (an'ām) is valid [for sacrifice], with consideration given to the higher of the two required ages. Thus, in the case of an animal crossbred between sheep (ḍa'n) and goats (ma'z), only one that has reached two years of age is valid [for sacrifice]. And Allah, the Most High, knows best.

Who is the "Capable Person" for whom the Udhiyah is recommended?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.

The "Capable Person" (Al-Qadir): This refers to anyone who possesses surplus wealth beyond their own essential needs and the financial maintenance of their wife, children, or whoever is under their legal care, during the day of Eid and the three days of Tashreeq (the 11th, 12th, and 13th of Dhul-Hijjah), as this is the designated timeframe for the sacrifice. And Allah Knows Best.

Does touching women temporarily forbidden in marriage nullify ablution?

It is prohibited to touch, or to shake hands with such women as they are considered strangers, and doing so nullifies ablution.
