Summary
This sales concept is permissible in Islamic law because the default ruling for commercial dealings is permissibility. The conditions are that the pillars and requirements of sale are met and there is no deception, manipulation or other prohibited element. It is regarded as a marketing technique and a gift from the seller, not gambling. If the marketing method contains a forbidden element, it becomes haram.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Konsep jualan yang sedemikian adalah konsep yang dibenarkan syarak selagi cukup syarat jual beli yang dinyatakan serta bebas daripada unsur-unsur penipuan, manipulasi dan sebagainya.
