Gambling and Looting

10- الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ النَّهْدِيِّ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ جَبَلَةَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) الصِّبْيَانُ يَلْعَبُونَ بِالْجَوْزِ وَالْبَيْضِ وَيُقَامِرُونَ فَقَالَ لا تَأْكُلْ مِنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ حَرَامٌ.
10. Al-Husayn from Muhammad has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Nahdiy from Ya’qub ibn Yazid from ‘Abd Allah ibn Jabalah from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about the case of children who play with walnuts and eggs and gamble. He (the Imam) said, ‘You must not consume them for food; it is unlawful.’”
