The Ruling on Health Insurance for an Employee
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Some employees in companies are covered by the company for their medical treatment through health insurance. What is the ruling on the employees benefiting from this insurance?
Answer:
Is the insurance taken from the employee himself, and the company does not pay? If the company pays, this is considered part of his salary, part of his rights, as if it were from the salary. But if they take it from him, it is not permissible, because this is commercial insurance.
