Summary
Playing cards is permissible on condition that it involves no gambling, cheating or quarrelling, and that Islamic limits are observed, such as not neglecting prayer. However, if it is feared to cause suspicion among the community because the cards are commonly used for gambling, it is better to avoid it. The fatwa also encourages choosing more beneficial and safer pastimes to protect one's dignity.
