Playing the game of darts.

Q. I would like to know firstly if playing darts is haraam. If it is, can you quote Quran or hadith or some sort of fiqh.


A. Playing darts is not haraam. It is simply a game which does not comprise of any unlawful element in the shariah. It also does not bring about a violation of any Islamic law.

However if it is played in a manner where monies are involved and is considered a means of gambling, then it will not be permissible.

And Allah knows best.
