What is the ruling on playing cards, chess in leisure time?

🔵Answer🔵

It has been reported by Hazrat abu moosa ash'ari radi allahu ta'ala anhu that Prophet Muhammed sallahu alayhi wasallam has said that whoever plays dice games has disobeyed Allah and Rasool Allah sallahu alayhi wasallam.
(ABU DAWOOD 2/319)

In another Hadith, it is reported by Hazrat Sulaiman ibne bareedah that Prophet Muhammed sallahu alayhi wasallam has mentioned that playing chess is as su h the person has soaked his hand in pig's blood. (ABU DAWOOD 2/327)

Imam abu haneefah, imama malik ahmad Rahmatuallahi alayhim agrees that playing cards and chess is also in included in it. Playing it is a major sin ( gunah e kabeerah). Such card games are prohibited because it is wastage of time, becomes a game of attention and attraction and is a way to betting games. it is therefore deemed makruhe tahrimee. If such games are challenged, it becomes bet which is why it is haraam and sinful. (Also, all 10 points mentioned in video game answer no.943 holds true for this too)
