Reasons behind prohibition of gambling and lottery : lucky draw and selling Islamic financed house

السؤال

Assalamu `Alaykum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuh Dear Dr. Monzer Question 1 : Respected scholars, as-salamu `Alaykum. A few years ago, I entered a lucky draw where it was required to place the label of a soft drink that was purchased in an envelope and post it to the distributor of the soft drink. I submitted a few entries. I won the grand prize which was a car. I sold off the car and with the addition of some savings, I bought a house and rent it out and have been using the rental money for personal use. Are such lucky draws considered as gambling ? If it is, what should we do now ? Jazakum Allahu Khayran. Question 2 : Salam Alaykum, I sold my apartment which was financed through an Islamic institution, but when I sold it and bought a house they couldn’t provide the financing which forced me into taking a conventional mortgage (Riba). I had also bought a pre-construction home which I was planning to sell upon completion. However, due to the real estate market I am now stuck with two interest based mortgages. So, Am I able to sell them and keep the profit ? I plan to go to Hajj InShaAllah this year and I don't want to have this on my conscious. What do you recommend I do, should I wait until next year ?
