📖 Study with Ustadh AbdulAziz Al-Haqqan, live and free: https://www.sokacademy.com/live?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=manhaj&utm_content=manhaj-l1-c1 Loot boxes, player packs and treasure boxes in video games: Ustadh AbdulAziz Al-Haqqan explains why paying for a package when you do not know which player or skin will come out is gharar, even when there are only two options, and what the halal way is: buy the item that is for sale. From Lesson 1 of the Book of Transactions, Manhaj al-Sālikīn. 📖 https://www.sokacademy.com/live?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=manhaj&utm_content=manhaj-l1-c1 (online academy) : Courses taught by Sheikh AbdulAziz Al-Haqqan following the literature of the prominent scholars of Islamic history 📱Social Media of Ustadh AbdulAziz Al-Haqqan حفظه الله : https://linktr.ee/gardenofilm But how this is used is in video, video games and mobile games on the phone and so on. What do they say? It's a loot box, buy the loot box or buy the package of players or buy the treasure box. Isn't this how it is? So now, you want a certain football player, let's say it's soccer that you're playing. You want a certain football player, you need to buy a package. The package contains 100 players, you want one. How many packages do you need to buy in order to get one? It's not designated, we say this is gharar. Even if they were 50 instead of 100, yes. Even if they were 10, yes. What if they were two only? It's either this player or that player. We say it is still gharar because there is a... Let's not use the word ignorance, I use the word ignorance. Let's say there is unawareness. You don't know which one it is that's going to come out. So here, you're paying money and you will either get what you want or you get the other one that you don't want. And this is not allowed in Islam. You have to designate. So you say, what if I wanted to buy this player and it is more expensive? That's not a problem because you're paying money and you're getting what you want. This is allowed in Islam. Same thing with the loot boxes. You want skins. And this is very common in many games. I want this certain skin, yallah. Buy, sometimes you buy 100 loot boxes. And there is isrāf as well in this. And you don't get it still. We say all of these transactions are forbidden in Islam. If the skin or the weapon or the player is for sale, you can buy it. But buying the packages and buying the loot boxes and buying anything that comes under this definition is not allowed in Islam. This is forbidden.
