Is Betting Haram In Islam
I want to ask a question about a casual challenge involving money. Suppose two friends say:“I bet you can’t speak my language. If you do, I’ll give you 1000 rupees. If you can’t, you’ll give me 1000 rupees.” This is said jokingly or as a challenge, but both are agreeing to give money depending on the result. Is this kind of challenge considered gambling (qimaar) in Islam?And is it haram even if both agree and do it playfully, not habitually or for serious profit?
