\n\tQuestion<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSalaam,<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tI have received a job offer for a local charity. Upon being successful for the job, it has come to my knowledge that part of my wages could be coming from the National Lottery Fund. I have 1 week to accept the offer and need an answer desperately. If it is haraam for me to take such money then I would rather leave this job and have faith that InshaAllah I will get something better.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tIf you require further information, then please do not hesitate to email me.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tGambling is a great sin in Islam, and the money earned from it is considered unlawful (haram). The income for the National Lottery Fund comes from ticket sales, with 28% of the sales being donated to worthy causes. Therefore all the money coming from the funding is from a haram source.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tAllah (swt) says:<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t“They ask you about wine and gambling. Say, "In them is a great sin and yet, some benefit for people. But their sin is greater than their benefit.<\/span><\/span>”<\/span><\/span> (Surah al-Baqarah:219)<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tHowever, because the actual job you will be doing is lawful, as well as the majority of the source for the salary coming from a lawful source, it will be permissible for you to accept the job and not question which portion of the money contributed to your salary.
