I work at an exchange office, but they also make me sell lottery tickets. Is it permitted to sell lottery tickets in this case?
Purchasing a lottery ticket for the purpose of winning is not permissible, while it is permissible to purchase them as a way of supporting charitable organizations that benefit from the lottery. Hence the difference between the two is that the first is a form of gambling, and the second is a form of supporting charitable organizations. Selling lottery tickets is not permissible.
