The Ruling on Paying Insurance in Cases of Necessity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Our dear brother, it is obligatory for us to obey the one in authority as long as he does not order disobedience. The question is: Is insurance obligatory for us? If we obey him, have we committed a sin? And if we do not obey him, we are unable to handle our affairs? What is the opinion of our dear brother? If there is harm upon you if you do not carry out the insurance, is there harm upon you?
Answer:
Allah the Exalted says: except for what you have agreed upon. Pay the required premiums, but do not benefit from it in any way. If you need something, it is from your own money, not from the money of the insurance companies, which is the money of people. You pay it out of necessity to obtain your essential matters. As for benefiting from it, you do not benefit from it in any way, because it is forbidden. Yes.
