Is it permissible to acquire money through gambling for the purpose of marriage and chastity, given that earnings from work are insufficient to achieve this?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is not permissible to obtain money through unlawful means like gambling, and the need for marriage does not justify it. A man must seek lawful sustenance and be patient regarding marriage by fasting. "And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out And will provide for him from where he does not expect." What is with Allah cannot be attained except through obedience to Him.
