The Ruling on Medical Insurance Cards from the Employer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Recently, there has been a lot of talk about medical insurance cards and the like. In the job I work in, medical insurance cards are distributed to me and all members of my family. Please note that this insurance is without payment; rather, it is in exchange for working in this field, under a single contract with several conditions if one accepts it.
Answer:
The company you work for pays. They stipulated it without payment, and there is a consideration, but they say it is from the company you work for or the major one you work under exchange. The second one, in all its forms, is forbidden. They have negated the decisions of the major scholars regarding all its types, whether medical or not, all of it, because it is based on acquiring wealth through falsehood, and because it involves uncertainty and risks. A person should rely on Allah, and if something happens to him, he should be treated at his own expense, not at the expense of people, eating the wealth of people. Or if a car is seized, he repairs it himself, not at the expense of people, eating the wealth of people through falsehood. Yes, and Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and peace be upon them.
