Q: Is it permissible to play cards in Islam? If it is not permissible, why is it not permissible?
A: If the cards you are referring to are bicycle cards, then generally people gamble with these cards. Gambling with these cards is haraam. If these cards are not played with the intention of gambling but merely for entertainment, then too it is not permissible to play these cards as such an entertainment has a direct resemblance with the people who gamble.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
