Gunmen fire at card players in Kano, killing three

Two gunmen riding on a motorbike shot and killed three people playing cards in the Sharada area of Kano city today. A fourth person sustained serious injuries and has been rushed to the hospital.

Also, a constabulary police officer narrowly escaped death but sustained gunshot wounds and has also been taken to an unknown hospital, soaked in blood.

The Kano State police command spokesperson has officially confirmed the killings, while a security operative in the area said several residents have gone into hiding to avoid falling victim of the crossfire that ensures after such attacks. No group has claimed responsibility of the attack. (Sahara Reporters)

You are the Olodo my dear, in the Koran weleave heard that it is a sin to spend idle time playing cards. Only God can deliver Nigeria from these wicked souls. The vulture calling me Olodo no be ur fault, u are a Muslim . This was done in Kano and it is not the 1st time it has happened.

Please nigerians stop being so short sighted! As earlier said they're gunmen not muslims don't start pointing fingers. If nigeria is going to scatter it will be because of you people that stereotype. Does it make sense that muslims will bomb churches as well and be killing their own people? Can't you see that this is a political war against the government and not a religious war? Please before we talk let's think. They are fighting the government this is not about christian or muslim afterall we've seen christians being caught trying to bomb churches as well. Nigeria is one don't let some political god fathers deceive you small minds

The people calling me olodo, please read this excerpt after this comment.It is a sin to play cards in the islam world, so the gunmen who are muslims shot the people who were playing cards thought it was haram, a sin and did their God a favor by killing the card players. Please get educated people, this is 2012.And for the mongrel that called me a mumu, u are a mumu and ur entire generations are mumu.Play it safe when dealing with moslems, that is all I am saying.

Read this Excerpt

The Standing Committee was asked about playing cards if that does not distract people from prayer and there is no money involved. They answered:

Playing cards is not permitted, even if there is no money involved, because the problem with that is that it distracts people from remembering Allaah (dhikr) and from prayer. Even if they claim that this is not the case, then it is still a means that may lead to gambling which is expressly forbidden in the Qur’aan. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), and gambling, and Al-Ansaab (stone altars for sacrifices to false gods) and Al-Azlaam (arrows for seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of Shaytaan’s (Satan’s) handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that (abomination) in order that you may be successful”

[al-Maa’idah 5:90]

These cards have an effect on society, for the bonds of a strong society are achieved by means of two things: following the commands of Allaah and heeding His prohibitions. A society disintegrates when it neglects any of those duties or does any of those things that are forbidden. These cards form one of the factors which have an effect on society. They cause people to neglect prayer in congregation, and they generate alienation, breaking of ties, hatred and negligence through the committing of haraam actions, and they make people too lazy to earn a living.
