Horse Racing in Iran

People are purchasing contribution bills before a race at the Gonbad horse racing complex in Gonbad-e Kavus, 556km (345 miles) northeast of Tehran, on March 7, 2024. In Islam, it is permissible for two horse racers or their agents to place wagers with each other, which is considered halal. In Iran, individuals are acting as agents for the horse racers and are placing bets on the outcome of a race by purchasing contribution bills. (Photo by Morteza Nikoubazl/NurPhoto)
