The Ruling on Commercial Medical Insurance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Abu Sa'd from Jeddah, please go ahead, Abu Sa'd. Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. And upon you be peace, and Allah's mercy. Shaykh, I was offered a medical insurance plan for myself and my children through my work device. What is the ruling on that, Shaykh? The price is nominal.
The Shaykh:
No, my brother, insurance is not permissible; commercial insurance is not permissible. But it is obligatory that... consuming wealth wrongfully.
The questioner:
Shaykh, the medical situation in recent times, you see how it is. I had a premature baby and I was tossed around between hospitals, from one hospital to another. This is just a nominal amount, and we go to a private hospital and the problem is solved.
The Shaykh:
No, my brother, commercial insurance is not permissible; it is not permissible. Yes.
The presenter:
Thank you, thank you, my brother. May Allah welcome you.
