Question
The business I intend to buy has a lotto machine which cannot be removed. It has to be operated. Can I use the money to pay my bond interest?
Answer
It is not permissible to operate the gambling machine. The income is haraam, and it is not permissible to use it to pay even one's haraam bond interest. Do not contemplate buying this haraam business. Your Rizq has already been ordained by Allah Ta'ala.
