Treating the Parents with the Employee's Health Insurance Card
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: I am an employee at a company, and the company did not give me a health insurance card. However, my parents are not included in the insurance. On one occasion, I took my father for treatment, but I agreed with the clinic to put it under my name so that the insurance would cover it. Is this action correct? And what is the solution?
Answer:
This action is not correct, neither for you nor for them. It is not permissible. You are not [to do this], nor are you [to do this], because insurance is forbidden, because it is originally taking people's money by falsehood. You must treat yourself with your own money if you need treatment, and treat your parents with your personal money. Do not use this insurance because it is forbidden, because it is from the money of the subscribers to this thing, and it is not yours. Excuse yourself, and excuse your father, your children, and the money, if you want safety and want to be saved. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.
