Was Islam über Sportwetten lehrt

Im Islam gilt Sportwetten als Haram (verboten).

Sportwetten sind Qimar – die Wette auf einen unsicheren Ausgang mit Gewinner und Verlierer –, was der Koran neben den Rauschmitteln verbietet (5,90). Alle großen Schulen des islamischen Rechts stufen sie als haram ein, einschließlich Fantasy-Wetten, Spread-Wetten und „Gratiswetten“-Aktionen, bei denen Geld im Spiel ist.

Islam's verdict on sports betting is among the clearest in the entire tradition. The Quran names gambling (qimar/maysir) in the same breath as intoxicants and idolatrous divination, calls it 'defilement from the work of Satan,' and commands believers to 'avoid it that you may be successful' (5:90). The surah even anticipates the user's defense — 'in them is great sin and some benefit for people' (2:219) — the entertainment value and the occasional win — and answers that 'their sin is greater than their benefit.' Jurists apply this to every modern form: pre-match and live betting, fantasy leagues with entry fees, spread betting, and 'risk-free' promotions, since each involves payment, uncertainty, and a counterparty. Islamic law also considers the social ledger: the Prophet warned that gambling and drinking plant enmity between believers and distract from prayer (5:91) — effects the tradition views as verifiable today in betting-related debt, deceit, and family breakdown.

  • Quran 2:219 — 'They ask you about wine and gambling. Say, In them is great sin and some benefit for people, but their sin is greater than their benefit.'

Was Sie tun sollten

Die ausführliche Analyse unten ist auf Englisch verfügbar.

  • If betting has become regular, stop fully rather than 'scaling down' — variable rewards make moderation harder than abstinence.
  • Remove betting apps and payment methods; add a trusted person who can see your accounts.
  • Muslim: Remember the Quran's own risk assessment (2:219) — the sin exceeds the benefit; delete the apps and make tawbah.
  • All: If you cannot stop, seek a gambling-specific program or counselor; addiction is a medical condition and treating it is a religious duty.
Book of Repentance (Sahih Muslim)

Book of Repentance (Sahih Muslim)

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said Allah rejoices more when you return than a man who finds water in the desert. Islamic tradition holds that tawbah is always accepted for those who sincerely seek it.
