I work at an exchange office but they also make me sell lottery. Is it permitted to sell lottery in this case?
Answer
Buying and selling lottery tickets are not permissible. Yes, it is permissible to take part in a lottery with the intention to contribute in a charitable project such as building a mosque or a bridge not with the intention of earning a profit or a prize.
