The answer

Many prize claims are nothing but a scam to obtain money under the pretext of a prize transfer fee, or to collect money by prolonging the call. Several Arab websites have specifically warned against this particular site. There is no harm in taking the money if it actually arrives without paying any مقابل (counterpart) or transfer fees, or participating in promoting the site. However, participating in the site from the beginning and choosing numbers for the draw is not permissible until you know the site's objectives, as it might be for promoting prohibited websites or promoting gambling.
