| Ruling on playing cards, chess, and carrom Q 7: What is the ruling on playing cards and chess? A: This kind of amusement is forbidden, because it distracts people away from the remembrance of Allah (Exalted be He). This is well-known to the scholars, since this playing distracts and prevents goodness, causes rivalry and great evil among the players, and may cause them to neglect the religious duties that Allah (Exalted be He) has ordained. |
