How do Islamic websites justify religious competitions despite the noble Hadith: "There is no prize except in three (types of contests)"? And is it permissible for scholars to allow them for benefit, even if it might seem like an amendment to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying?
It is permissible for scholars to organize Islamic competitions, by analogy with the three matters mentioned in the hadith. This is not an amendment to the Prophet's teachings, but rather full adherence and obedience to him.
