Q: Is red wine vinegar permissible?

Q: My wife made rotis yesterday and placed them in a container. When they were cool she covered them. We had rotis for supper last night. After esha, when I was in the kitchen, I saw a mouse eating from a wrapped left-over sandwich. Later, I put the roti container in the fridge. After fijar, my wife took out the roti container from the fridge. She saw mice droppings or "stools" on the side of rotis in the container. 

1. What do we do with the rotis? 

2. What do we do if we have a mice problem?

Q: I would like to enquire whether we can trust MJC and NIHT. Reason being there seems to be a lot of doubt with these as compared to SANHA. It makes me wonder how all the meat supplied to Mc Donalds and KFC can be halaal as there is a lot of animals that would be slaughtered and to slaughter an animal in compliance with shariah takes more time and care so how do we know that these animals are being slaughtered accordingly?

Q: We live in America and there are some restaurants whose owners are Agha Khani's. They sell meet products and say that they sell only halal meat. We believe that they buy halal meat but is it permissible to eat from their restaurants? We are not sure if the food is cooked by a Muslim or Agha Khani or Hindu.
