:salam:

I wanted to ask, whether I could?

I am worried because, I THINK it is haram:

1. Is participating in Giveaways haram - if NO. Is it if the giveaway is celebrating a certain year, and mentioning the cartoonists and "the pictures"of the Prophet Muhammad :saws1: ?

I can win a beast gaming PC.

BTW, IF it is haram, is it haram for me to buy from that website because of what they mentioned (they made a quick mention of it)

They are celebrating how many years they were in the business. I am worried cuz they mentioned The Prophet Muhammad :saws1: like that.

And Allah :swt: knows best.

From the screenshot, I can see a beefy GTX 1080. nothing else. :D It must have a good CPU / processor tho. Ram sticks etc...... Idk tho. But they say it is around $2300 USD.

The best equivalent I could find had a GTX 1070 with i7-6800K but a bad cooler (stock intel cooler, not made for overclock, I assume)

Allahu alam.

I see, you must have a beefy CPU then, since yours (I assume) is workstation-oriented. Or perhaps you have them Titan XPs for 3D rendering.. :D

Oooh, I'd very much like to see your renderings at some time, brother. My husband was a Blender fanatic.

Is 3D rendering like CGI with greenscreen, etc?

Anyways, In shaa' Allah someone can answer my question in my first post (OP).

1. Is it haram to participate in a giveaway - if no. Is it if they mentioned The "drawings" of the Prophet :saws1: ?

2. Would it be haram for me to buy from there from now on because of what they mentioned?

No to both.

Giveaways are fun. Especially when you win.

My auntie entered about 3 million free giveaways. And won at least 5 times - sick!

exactly.

Learnt how to do it, then wondered what to do next :D suffering a block, although calling it sufferring is overkill - i enjoy the "Block"... let's old ideas become - old and new ones, surface.

That's what I hope anyway ;)
