So, this has two answers from the scholars\u2019 side as well. We are aware of the fact that board games involve dice in most situations. Dice usually give the answer based on luck. So, when a player believes that things are based on luck, that contradicts the belief of an Islamic believer, which says everything is destined. This belief takes him away from his religious track, which is not a healthy sign. Hence, this is why <a href=\"https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/why-do-i-hate-losing-board-games\/\">board games<\/a> involving dice are considered haram.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"774\" src=\"https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/no-entry-1829103_1280-min-1024x774.png\" alt=\"are board games haram\" class=\"wp-image-460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/no-entry-1829103_1280-min-1024x774.png 1024w, https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/no-entry-1829103_1280-min-300x227.png 300w, https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/no-entry-1829103_1280-min-768x581.png 768w, https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/no-entry-1829103_1280-min-87x67.png 87w, https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/no-entry-1829103_1280-min.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Are_gambling_and_betting_games_allowed_to_play\">Are gambling and betting games allowed to play?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No! Islam is a religion that doesn\u2019t allow its believers to play any of these games. Earning money that you didn\u2019t work for is considered haram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Games_and_time\">Games and time<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We know that<a href=\"https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/why-are-board-games-called-board-games\/\"> board games<\/a> take time to play while it is played with many and in turns. In Islam, wasting time is considered to be a bad habit. Moreover, when someone is deep into these games, they tend to forget their compulsory prayers and miss them. This is a situation where one is into a big sin. This is also a reason why board games aren\u2019t allowed in Islam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/banned-1726366_1280-min-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"haram\" class=\"wp-image-458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/banned-1726366_1280-min-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/banned-1726366_1280-min-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/banned-1726366_1280-min-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/banned-1726366_1280-min-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/banned-1726366_1280-min-370x370.jpg 370w, https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/banned-1726366_1280-min.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Finally\">Finally,<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To conclude this topic, we can say anything played in moderation could be safe because too much of anything will be a problem. It can be fine if you don\u2019t earn money through the game. Games that involve gambling and betting are also haram. Hence that is why participating in lotteries is also forbidden in Islam. Time is precious, and anything that\u2019s done to waste isn\u2019t encouraged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Explore more about <a href=\"https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/board-games\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">board games<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This topic of haram is really a controversial one.
