Are Lottery Pools Legal in Pakistan?
Lottery pools are generally not legal in Pakistan due to Islamic principles that prohibit gambling activities. The Pakistani legal system, influenced by Sharia law, considers most forms of gambling including lottery pools as haram （forbidden）.While some government-run lotteries exist in certain provinces, private lottery pools and gambling operations are strictly prohibited. The Pakistan Penal Code contains specific sections that criminalize gambling activities.
Cultural and religious values in Pakistan strongly discourage participation in lottery pools. The majority Muslim population follows Islamic teachings that consider gambling as harmful to society and individuals.
Exceptions include some state-regulated raffles and draws for charitable purposes, but these are tightly controlled and not considered traditional lottery pools.
