Question

I want to know is it permissible to buy or sell raffle tickets for charity or otherwise?

Answer

Raffles are not permissible due to the element of gambling. A ticket is usually purchased for a sum of money and the result is unknown.

And Allah Knows Best

Ask Jamiat KZN

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Jamiatul Ulama KZN. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
