Answer :
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh Answer in English: 1. This first transaction falls under the explicit definition of qimār (gambling). Thus, it will not be permissible to enter into such a transaction. 2. This second example, although it does not fall under the tenets of qimār it is still impermissible. The reason for that is by depositing $100 in the bank, in reality a person is giving the bank a loan for that amount. In an attempt to increase the amount of loans, the bank offers the lenders a chance to win money from the bank in exchange of extending loans to the bank. Standing a chance to win the lottery is a benefit, which comes directly in lieu of giving the loan. Therefore, such a transaction would fall under the ambit of the following principle, “Every loan that derives a benefit is Ribā.” كُلَّ قَرْضٍ جَرَّ مَنْفَعَةً فَهُوَ رِبًا Answer in Farsi: 1. معامله أول زير تعريف قمار شامل می باشد به همين دليل اين نوع معامله جائز نيست 2. معامله دوم اگر چه زير تعريف قمار شامل نه مى باشد باز هم جائز نيست براى اينكه 100$ به حساب بانك گذاشتن در حقيقت به بانك يك قرض است . در كوشش تكثير قرضان بانك يك شانس به بردن پيسه پيش مى كنند و اين شانس يك نوع منفعة است كه در عوض قرض دادن است . اين معاملة زير قاعدة "هر قرض كه منفعة حاصل مى كنيد او سود است" شامل مى باشد . " كُلَّ قَرْضٍ جَرَّ مَنْفَعَةً فَهُوَ رِبًا " And Allah knows best Wassalam u Alaikum Ml. Yusuf bin Yaqub,
