The funny thing of the story is that guy celebrated his win by salat because he is religious and a muslim, the problem is islam forbids betting or gambling on anyway (strict rules in islam) just like ignoring that and doing something bad in islams principes. Anyway this guy is really lucky to win such a prise with a very small amount he risked, its a very good odd though and also im wondering which game did he play or bet on
I'm surprised to read that he is a Muslim I guess he is not a devout one because as I know gambling is forbidden in Islam he will set himself as a bad example for letting people know that he win big and even goes to pray in their Mosque to pray, he should have kept it to himself, his life will be complicated because of this and he will need to explain his action besides putting himself to gossip and in danger as well.
Indeed. If you're a devoted person you'll follow your religion's belief and will refrain to commit something against it. On the other side, if he kept it secret to other people then he will be out of something unfortunate that might happen. But obviously he failed to do so. I think it's understandable because of the emotion he felt after knowing the result.
What would be the consequence if you're a muslim then you gamble knowing it's prohibited in your religion? In our religion, if you do not abide on the set rules, they will remove you (also called as explulsion) as a member.
