Granting a reward to the person who raises the most amount of money
Question
Does the prophetic way allow for raising of funds for a Madrassah or Masjid by stating that the person raising the most funds will win an all expenses Umrah trip? If not, kindly advise us why this wouldn't be the way of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)?
Answer
This is a type of gambling.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
