The Shari'ah-compliant way out of mandatory insurance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the Shari'ah-compliant way out of the insurance that is imposed on us these days?
Answer:
We have answered this question many times. We said: If you are forced to pay it, you pay it, but you do not benefit from it in the future. You do not withdraw any money from the insurance company. You pay it out of necessity in order to obtain the permit, and to obtain the things you must have. You pay it under compulsion, but you do not benefit from it, because benefiting from it is forbidden: it is riba (usury or interest), gambling, and evil.
