Fatwa #356016 February 2002Malaysia
The Reader's Digest has been offering me participation in numerous contests as I was/am a regular purchaser of their publications. The prizes are in cash and/or kind. Can I enter such contest?
Answer
It is permissible to enter in such contests and accept the prices if one is
not required to pay a separate fee to be a participant of the contest.
