Are competitions on social media that involve likes and shares to choose a random winner and obtain a prize considered gambling?
There is no objection to participating in marketing competitions that rely on promoting company products, as long as the participant does not pay money. This is because such a competition is not considered gambling, as the participant's situation is between winning or remaining safe, with no loss incurred. It is a condition that the advertisement does not contain anything forbidden, such as indecent images or musical clips, or that the product itself is not forbidden to use.
