Is playing card games permissible provided there is no gambling involved?

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Wa alaikum salaam,

No. This will not be permissible, even if played without the element of gambling. The nature of the game entails a general ruling of being prohibitively disliked.

The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said:

“From the beauty of one’s Islam is to leave things that have no benefit in them”.(Sunan Tirmizi & Sunan Ibn Majah).

Islam severely disapproves of forms of amusement and acts which are completely devoid of worldly or other-worldly benefit.

And Allah alone gives success. Also view the link below.
