Gambling prohibited by Islam:
Islam prohibits gambling, which is called maisir or qimar, for multiple reasons:
- the Quran and Hadith expressly teach against it as the result of Satan, and an abomination;
- gambling is harmful to people, causing addiction and ruining families financially
- Islam promotes work for making a living, rather than relying on chance through gambling.
- gambling wastes time as a sinful activity, time that could be far better spent
- gambling sparks hatred towards others by creating losses while another gains
Worth mentioning that many Muslim immigrants in the West, try not to adhere to these and other strict codes.
