Is playing the Lottery Legal in Qatar

Does anyone know if Lottery's are legal in Qatar, just wondered if it was legal to play the UK National Lottery from here in Qatar. They say you have to be in the UK or a country where it is legal to play it.

I assume if lottery's are Legal in Qatar then playing the UK one isn't a problem, but if they are not legal then there would be.

Hi I play the UK Lotto and Euromilions, the company I use is http://www.eelott.co.uk

I researched before joining and it is legal to play, the tickets are purchsed by the company in the UK. When you win the money is deposited into you online account and I use moneybookers to transfer my winnings.

Oryx,

What crap are you saying????????

Whatever is haram here is haram even on the moon!! Please watch what you say, and ask people before you post such a stupid answer.

Besides, the question was is it LEGAL??? not RELIGIOUS aspect.

Lotteries with money are a form of gambling thus Haram.

Raffles where you win a car do happen here but I do know some who refrain from partaking as they see it as gambling.

As you will be playing the lottery over the net and the lottery is in the UK then it isn't haram because it isn't here.
