Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I subscribed to health insurance for my wife. Yes. I subscribed to health insurance for my wife, then I learned that it is forbidden, and I was unable to recover the amount I paid to the company. So, may I benefit from the insurance to the extent of the amount I paid?
Answer:
To the extent of the amount, there is no harm; you may benefit to the extent of the amount and not exceed it. There is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
