Winning Something On Spin Or Shooting
It is gambling, so not allowed. Ghamidi saheb writes in his book Mizan: “Gambling, everyone knows, is merely chancing one’s luck. The Qur’anhas called it“from among the filthy works of Satan”. Obviously, this expression has been employed because gambling gives rise to moral misconduct in a person which gradually encompasses his personality. The reason is that if an economic activity is based on rights and services and rational decisions, it develops a high moral character, and if an economic activity is based on mere chance, fortune and fortuity, it produces an attitude which is based on avoidance of hard work and service. This gives rise to such mean qualities as cowardice and faint-heartedness which subsequently eliminate the innate qualities of honour, integrity, sincerity and self-respect. As a result, a person becomes unmindful to the remembrance of the Almighty and to the prayer, and instead of having love and affection for his fellow beings, he has nothing but enmity and hatred for them.”

For example if you give me 50 rs and say give anything randomly so i give you chocolate, here I’m choosing randomly there spin chooses? Secondly in shooting, it’s even taking my effort, skill, time etc so why not here? But the question still remains for doubling of money in spin but can’t it be said that if i can win a good and more expensive prize after giving some money then i can get money also?
