Betting rejected
Pakistan’s highest Islamic court has rejected arguments by two stud farmers that the country needs betting at the racetrack to help prepare horses for holy wars. The federal Shariat (Islamic law) court issued a 133-page judgement rejecting an appeal brought by the two breeders against Pakistan’s Islamic ban dn betting. The court said it saw no link between racing and “Jihad” (holy war) or betting and training. Racing without betting, already allowed, was enough incentive for breeders, it said. — Islamabad.
