Playing this game is forbidden for several reasons: 1. It is a waste of time and neglects religious and worldly interests, and it may lead to gambling. 2. It contains statues and images, which is one of the major sins. 3. The loser pays for the use of the game, which is extravagance and a waste of money on amusement. The earnings of its owner from it are unlawful and prohibited gambling.
However, if it is possible to remove the heads of the statues and prevent gambling, then there is no objection to renting the table.
