Q:
1. If I open a snooker shop, will that money be halal or haram as I know in Islam betting is haram but in this case we are not telling the players who will come to my shop to play snooker that you have to bet but more then 90% of the boys that play bet, or both of them agree to pay money. So is it still haram or halal?
2. If I wrote on a wall that betting is not allowed here then will it be enough to make snooker shop money halal?
Q: I did an insurance policy in 2014 for 10 yrs, every year I need to pay a premium of 35k. Last year I got to know that it is haram and I wanted to get myself out of that.

Q: What is “mudhaarabah”?
Q: Please can I have advice on the following. I have an accounting/bookkeeping practice and as a result I have many clients that ask me for assistance on insurance, retirement annuity and pension funds as well as other long term investments. With regards to this I have also been approached by a financial institute that would like to provide my clients with the following services:
- Business and or personal insurance
- Retirement annuity and pension funds
- Long term investments (Shariah and Non Shariah compliant)
- Medical aid
- Other services that will fall within similar categories
As a result of me referring my clients to the financial institution I will earn a referral fee initially once the client has signed up and in some instances the fee will also be earned in annuity (on going). Is this referral fee that I will be earning halaal or haram on these products? Will it be permissible on certain products such as the medical aids and the long term investments? Please could evidence be provided from the Quran and or Hadith.
