The meaning of the ayah

They ask you about wine and gambling. Say, "In them is great sin and [yet, some] benefit for people. But their sin is greater than their benefit." And they ask you what they should spend. Say, "The excess [beyond needs]." Thus Allāh makes clear to you the verses [of revelation] that you might give thought

Saheeh International, the meaning of the Quran in English. The Quran itself is the Arabic text above.
