What is the ruling on buying and selling "skins" in the game "Counter-Strike" with real money for the purpose of profit? Is this considered to be a sale with an unknown element (Jahalah), or is the element of uncertainty here minor and excusable, especially since the purchase involves a choice between items after paying the price?

It is permissible to buy and sell features of gaming programs if they contain benefit and the games are permissible, and if the buyer can choose between different items of similar value, then the preponderant opinion is that it is permissible. One should be cautious not to spend time and money on what is not beneficial.
