Playing Cards (FATWA)
The Question
Are cards which are generally played without gambling permissible or some sort of sin? Please explain and be rewarded.
The Answer
It is ḥarām and a severe sin to play cards. To place a bet in it and gamble in it is ḥarām on top of ḥarām. It is an extremely disgusting and disgraceful act.
Allāh E knows best.
