Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks about the ruling on medical insurance?
Answer:
All insurance, in all its commercial forms, is not permissible, because it is consuming people's money through falsehood. You pay a small amount, and then if you undergo a medical procedure costing hundreds or thousands of riyals, you take it from the company's funds, from people's money. This is consuming wealth through falsehood. Yes.
