Is it halal to purchase items that advertise that you may win a prize, e.g. money, a cruise? What about entering a drawing hoping to win money etc? The most you spend is the cost postage.

Answered by 

Shaykh Ebrahim Desai

Answer:

It is permissible to purchase items having advertisements of winning prizes.
Furthermore, if the prize was won, it will also be permissible.

We do not understand the second query.
