Please could you give an islamic opinion on the following - would it be halal or haram. A stock broker said if a client credits their account with £3,500 they will enter into a prize draw which could pay say £10,000. The credit of £3.5k is not taken as fees or spent by the company. The £3.5k can remain dormant or be invested as normal. If the money is not invested it must remain for a minimum for 55 days. On day 56 they announce the winner, so if not successful you can withdraw the £3.5k...
