ANSWER:

It is the same concept of buying a lottery ticket where you may not win anything at all and there is a slight chance that you would hit the jackpot.

This is gambling.

If you have money to waste, give it to the poor muslims! 

 

I have read your fatwa about buying lootboxes and that is it haram even if it is virtual money. But what if you don’t lose anything and just open it. If you get nothing special it doesn’t matter to you that much. And what if you pay something virtual to open it but it is negligible. Or if you pay virtual money for a lootbox but you don’t care what you get. Like red paint or blue paint for your car
