Can anyone calculate the increased percentage of likelihood of Rambo doing more haraam actions if he used his lottery winnings to buy a brain?

Can anyone calculate the increased percentage of likelihood of Ibn M not using his brain to insult anyone and act superior to everyone?

Do you guys have to bring your disagreements into other threads. Just let it go, if you don't like each other then ignore each other. This arguing that eventually turns into a barrel of ad hominem attacks is really getting old.


Just answer questions politely and move on

5:91 Satan's plan is (but) to excite enmity and hatred between you, with intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allah, and from prayer: will ye not then abstain?



إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَن يُوقِعَ بَيْنَكُمُ الْعَدَاوَةَ وَالْبَغْضَاء فِي الْخَمْرِ وَالْمَيْسِرِ وَيَصُدَّكُمْ عَن ذِكْرِ اللّهِ وَعَنِ الصَّلاَةِ فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّنتَهُونَ

I know people who will basically say, "well the lottery is actually run by the state to pay for public schools and improvements in education [which is actually true]. Therefore, I'm just donating to a worthy cause by buying a lottery ticket".

They sure better pay back any winnings they get cause then their 'donations' would all be in vain
