Is it permissible to play cards

Q: I think that I am In sha’a-Allah (if Allah wills) one of the people who maintain Salah (prayer) on time in congregation, but some of my relatives and friends play a card game that is called (UNO), it resembles the game called (Basrah), they also play dominoes, and most of the time I play with them, but when I hear the Adhan (call to prayer) I throw the cards, and we all go to offer Congregational Salah. Is there a sin upon me? What is the ruling on this game? Please advise us, may Allah reward you with good.

A: This game is of the prohibited games, as it distracts away from the remembrance of Allah and from Salah, and mostly leads to enmity and hatred with time. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
