In India, the lottery system is a popular form of gambling that involves purchasing tickets for a chance to win money or prizes. However, from an Islamic perspective, the permissibility of participating in lotteries is a topic of discussion. According to Islamic teachings, gambling (including lotteries) is generally considered haram (forbidden) because it involves uncertainty (gharar) and can lead to financial loss and addiction. In India, local lottery products are often regulated by state governments, but Muslims are advised to avoid them to adhere to their faith principles. |
