Summary
Playing number forecast games is a form of gambling and is forbidden, so the winnings are prohibited to use for any purpose, including repairing a car. Food bought with lawful money remains halal to eat. The answer separates the two money sources: gambling money is haram, while lawful money may be used and benefited from. A good intention does not make a prohibited means permissible.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Wang daripada sumber haram jika digunakan untuk apa sahaja tujuan, tetap haram.
