Do raffles take the same ruling as lotteries? – At work they do this thing, you buy some tickets, they put them in balloons and you can win 1/2 a day off or a coffee gift certificate, etc. They also play the lottery here, when asked I refused that, but this raffle type thing caught me off-guard and the new girl (me) got put on the spot…right afterwards I felt worried b/c it hit me that this may be the same as lotteries? Please let me know, and if it isn’t allowed…what should I do…refuse if I win? I feel silly…this is what happens when you’re dosing off at work and then half asleep get greeted by people selling tickets…

Is there any sort of ruling on those hair extensions that are available in malls?

Is there a Hadith about Keeping One’s Car Clean?

Shaykh Muhammad ibn AdamRead

Schools often visit our masjid and they pay for coming in and visit it (classes of around 15 to 25 students and their teachers). At least 10 brothers can alternate themselves, depending on their availability, dedicating their time, sometimes 45 minutes up to 2 hours, and welcoming and introducing the masjid to those schools. Here are my questions: 1) It is lawful taking the money, by the management of the masjid for the masjid, for the visit, considering that we have the opportunity to directly talk with them and let them hear from a Muslim the correct Islamic point of view of their questions? 2) It is lawful for the brother(s) to take some of the amount paid by the school, considering this as a refund for the time wasted, or for any other reason. Here is a brief explanation of the 2° question: I’m working, and I have to living my work to a friend of mine, came to the mosque and spending there 2 hours. I want to be paid for the 2 hours. Or: I’ve to take the bus, and I’m loosing a lot of time, so I want to be paid for doing such thing.
