Playing ludo
Question
I love to play Ludo which involves a dice. I play it with my family or friends for fun and entertainment. There's no gambling and we are mindful to fulfil our obligations like Salaat and everything i.e. play it in our free time. Recently, I came across it that playing Ludo is Haraam while I see no harm in it keeping in mind we donot play it for haraam purposes.
Answer
It is not a recommended game.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
