Loans and Zakat: How do We Calculate?

A family member of mine asked the following question: You must have heard about skill based Internet gaming sites like Yahoo and SkillJam etc. These sites provide various games like pool, golf etc which can be played against an opponent by paying a small amount of entry fee. If a player wins, he gets some profit while the defeated player does not get paid as he lost the game. Now the games are totally skill based and does not depend on luck. From Islamic perspective, is it forbidden to play or do business with this type of game? Can you please clarify?

Misgivings (waswasah) Regarding Hypocrisy

I have come across Muslims who try and justify that we are permitted to eat the meat of the Jews/Christians, as is, e.g. McDonalds, supermarkets etc on the basis of the opinion given by Yusuf Al- Qaradawi. They say that, it is perfectly allowed to eat the animal slaughtered by a Christian or a Jew, regardless of the method used in slaughtering. On this basis, they consider meat sold in western supermarkets and other places to be perfectly Halal. It should be noted that at a conference of the Muslim Arab Youth Association (MAYA) in the U.S. a few years ago, where Sheikh Qaradawi is a regular speaker, he became exasperated upon being asked this question. He has encouraged, in the North American context, where Muslim businesses are present that Muslims buy from these stores as opposed to purchasing from the supermarket.

Is it permissible to use mobile in mosques with Islamic tunes. In Masjid-E-Khaif (in Mina) during Haj women stay in women’s mosque whereas men stay in men’s mosque (usually those who live in K.S.A and go on their own not through any agent). It becomes easy to contact one’s mahram on mobile, though man can go at the door of women’s section and tell his name to guard and then He/She can call his name on loud speaker.
