Q 1: Today’s Wisdom Competition aimed this year at encouraging people to recite the Book of Allah during Ramadan, as the announcer said. If this is the aim of the competition,
what is the ruling on the money given to a winner, if the answers to the questions are given to them by someone else,
and they recite the Qur’an regularly and finish recitation of the whole Qur’an more than once during Ramadan? Please advise me and may Allah reward you with the best.
A:
If the reality is as you have mentioned, the prize that was given to the person you mentioned is Haram (prohibited), because it was gained through cheating, lying, and taken without having a right to it. The person in question should perform Tawbah (repentance to Allah) and dispose of the money given to them, either by giving it to the person next in line to win, if this can be done without causing any harm to him, or by giving it away in charity. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
