The question

Is it permissible to take a large sum of money from television game shows, shared with the winner and the caller, to fund studies in Japan due to the high costs, with a commitment to return the full amount to the poor or an orphanage, knowing that these funds are designated solely for study?

The answer

The method of obtaining the money is not sufficiently clear, nor is it clear whether the competition is Islamically permissible or not. If the competition is permissible, then there is no problem in spending the money on studies or other matters. However, if it is forbidden, then it is not permissible to use it; rather, it must be disposed of immediately by giving it as charity to the poor and needy, or for the benefit of Muslims.
