Gambling and its Contemporary Forms

تلخیص
O believers! Wine and gambling and idols and divining arrows are only unclean things, a work of devil (Satan) then save yourselves from them, so that you may prosper It is clear from the above verse of the Holy Quran that gambling is an absolute forbidden act. Islamic scholars, jurists, and researchers, having deep understanding and insight on the economic and financial matters, described the existence of riba and gambling in prevalent transactions . The paper is also intended to elaborate the views of Islamic intellectuals on the matter. After discussing the concept of gambling (Qimar) and its types, the paper proceeds to state the contemporary issues that consist of gambling. The paper eloquently discussed and analyzed deeds like kite flying, pigeon flying, video games, carom boards, lottery, scratch card, estate lottery, event scheme, membership schemes for commercial companies, insurance schemes and newspaper coupons of the refineries. The paper concludes that gambling, like riba, is also a disease that serves as a slow poison for the society and leads to the damages in both the worlds. It is, therefore, incumbent upon each Muslim to keep himself from indulging in the gambling-based activities.
