I came across one of your answers regarding gambling and noticed a little section on paying to enter football tournaments and the permissibility of this. I wanted to get some clarity regarding the football event issue as we hold events locally. The annual football tournament is funded by local council sports development and sponsorship from local businesses. This usually covers us for sports pitch booking, trophies and equipment. Teams enter the tournament and the final winning and losing team would win trophies. Money from entrants is used to cover admin and volunteer costs then additional money left over and further money collected from a food stall is used to give to charity or a local mosque. By stating on advertising and registration that tournament entrance fees are used for admin and charity would this come out of the Realm of gambling or is there still an implication regarding those entering the tournament rather than those organising it. Any clarity on this would be greatly appreciated.

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?

Please can you tell me if death benefit schemes are permissible in Shariah? These are typically schemes where you pay an annual amount, say £25 to an association, and if someone dies in the family, they then pay for all funeral costs. To me it seems to be simple straightforward insurance and therefore haram?
