Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

It is permissible to participate in the U.S. Diversity Visa lottery. This does not fall in the category of gambling.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
