Gambling refers to the act of betting money or valuables on an event with an uncertain outcome, primarily with the hope of winning additional money or goods. It involves risking something of value on a chance event, such as card games, sports betting, or lotteries.
In Pakistan, gambling is generally prohibited under Islamic law, which considers it haram (forbidden) due to its potential for addiction, financial loss, and social harm. However, some forms of betting, like those in horse racing under regulated conditions, may be tolerated in certain contexts. Culturally, many Pakistanis avoid gambling, favoring family-oriented activities and religious practices instead. |
