What is the ruling on opening loot boxes in a game with real money to obtain car skins that do not change its power?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Purchasing a "lucky box key" with real money is forbidden gambling. If it is with virtual money, its image is also prohibited because it contains the likeness of gambling. Playing it involves the illusion of treating Allah's verses with jest and not respecting His sacred ordinances. The doer resembles those who are immoral, and Allah Almighty said: "That [is so]. And whoever honors the sacred ordinances of Allah - it is best for him in the sight of his Lord."
