Winning money in a gaming tournament
Question
If I play in a gaming tournament and win, is the money halaal or haraam?
Answer
It is not halaal as gaming is not a valid form of earning wealth.
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.
