Q: My father works in an insurance company which is being run by Muslims and follows Muslim laws. He himself is an insurance agent who does insurance of different people and the more people participate, the more commission he gets. I want to know whether the money he earns is considered halal?

Q: I am currently employed by taking ID photos of people that want to make ID documents or want to renew their drivers licence. Am I commiting a sin?

Q: Please clarify the following for me:
Generally, companies run through advertising and it thus plays a major part of many businesses. Therefore:
1. Some people specialise in doing the marketing/advertising for the company and get paid for their services.
2. Some people with computer abilities upload such ads on websites and get paid by the companies.
Are these types of jobs impermissible? If so, will magazines, radio stations etc. charging people for advertising also be impermissible?
Q: I want to know if it is permissible to work in the gaming industry according to Islamic law.
The gaming company in question has many popular games but those games contain some aspects of nudity, violence and crime related missions. The job is not a game developer per se, but some other software development work like tools development, server handling and all.
My doubt is that even if it's some other software development work, isn't it ultimately helping in the release of the game and thus should be prohibited?
