Is push-up challenge Halal?

[Guest Shia]

Salam,

Is doing punishments/forfeits involving money which goes to charity halal? 

I will provide a bit more context, so there is a push-up challenge which is done in Australia (and maybe Canada too) where a person does a certain amount of push-ups (3000+) in under a month because that was the amount of suicides committed in 2023 in Australia. Now to reach this overall target of push-ups, there are daily targets you must reach like 120 push-ups on first day, 60 on second, 80 on third etc. And for this challenge you can also team up with friends/family etc. So I was thinking is it allowed if a person in the team doesn’t do their daily target of pushups, then they have to pay like $10 (or a set amount) to the charity which sets up the push-up challenge, or other similar mental health charities?

Thank you

Certain games in which luck is not involved rather one can estimate his abilities are halal such as shooting arrows or horse-riding and so on so forth. 

This game is similar to what is written about above game so there seems no problem in it for further information please consult a maraja's representative.
