Sayyiduna Salamah bin al-Akwa' (may Allah be pleased with him) used to forbid his sons from playing "al-arba' 'asharah", "the game of fourteen pieces". It was asked: Why do you forbid them? He said: They swear oaths and lie. It has also been narrated from Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she disliked it.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Whoever plays any of these believing it to be permissible, his testimony is not rejected. The Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) says: This is because of the difference of opinion about it, or about some of it.
