Allah anasema, {Enyi mlioamini! Vileo vya kulevya na kamari, kuchinjia mawe, na (kupiga ramli kwa) mishale, ni uchafu, katika kazi ya Shetani. Basi jiepusheni nayo ili mpate kufaulu. Hakika Shetani anataka tu kuleta uadui na chuki baina yenu kwa vileo vya kulevya na kamari, na kukuzuieni kumkumbuka Allah na kuswali. Je, hamtaacha?} (5:90-91)

Allah says, {O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, sacrificing to stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination, of Satan's handiwork: eschew such (abomination) that ye may prosperO0 Satan's plan is (but) to excite enmity and hatred between you, with intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allah, and from prayer: will ye not then abstain?} (5:90-91)

Kamari inajumuisha mchezo wa backgammon, chess, na ubashiri kwa kutumia karanga, mipira, mawe na aina zote za kubashiri. Inaorodheshwa chini ya kuvunja haki za watu ambazo Allah ameziharamisha katika kauli Yake: {Wala msiliane mali zenu kwa batili, wala kuzitoa kwa mahakimu ili mle sehemu ya mali za watu kwa dhuluma, nanyi mnajua.} (2:188)

Gambling connotes backgammon, chess and speculation by nuts, balls, stones and all kinds of betting. It ranks under encroaching upon people's rights that Allah has made forbidden in His saying, {And do not eat up your property among yourselves for vanities, nor use it as bait for the judges, with intent that ye may eat up wrongfully and knowingly a little of (other) people's property.} (2:188)
