يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّمَا الْخَمْرُ وَالْمَيْسِرُ وَالْأَنْصَابُ وَالْأَزْلَامُ رِجْسٌ مِنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ (المائدة:٩٠)
(ومنها) أن يكون الخطر فيه من أحد الجانبين إلا إذا وجد فيه محللا حتى لو كان الخطر من الجانبين جميعا ولم يدخلا فيه محللا لا يجوز لأنه في معنى القمار نحو أن يقول أحدهما لصاحبه: إن سبقتني فلك علي كذا، وإن سبقتك فلي عليك كذا فقبل الآخر (بدائع الصنائع، كتاب السباق)
