Is it permissible to join a basketball competition where you pay fees to play and if you win, you get a trophy or money?

Answer

Kindly clarify the following: Is the fees for administration or will it be part of the prize in any way.

PS. The above clarification can be considered only if there is nothing un-Islamic in the competition. For example, nudity, music, intermingling of sexes, etc.
