Chess isn’t the same as it was when those scholars made their ruling. The game over the years due to the dice and the gambling being taken out of it.
The ayads and Hadiths talk about gambling and wasting time. Not chess explicitly. You know what has a huge gambling market? Sports like soccer and football. There’s huge gambling’s rings that basically pay for many venues.
Without the gambling. Without the dice rolling. Chess is now just a strategy game. If you want to say all games like that are banned. That means every board game. And almost every single video game. You have gambling built into every single video game with the lootboxes. Which were deemed gambling even in the west.
