Is buying a box whose contents are worth more than its price, with profit always guaranteed regardless of the content sold, considered gambling?
This sale is invalid due to the buyer's ignorance of the box's contents. Knowledge of the item being sold is a prerequisite for a valid sale; otherwise, it falls under the category of Gharar (uncertainty) sales, which are prohibited in Islamic law. Engaging in invalid contracts is unlawful.
