The Ruling on Compulsory Insurance in Cases of Necessity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner asks: What is the ruling on compulsory insurance, where you cannot obtain a driver’s license or a vehicle registration card unless you present an insurance certificate, otherwise traffic violations will be recorded against you?
Answer:
If you are compelled to have it and you are in dire necessity, then pay the insurance. Pay the insurance in order to achieve your objective, which is something you cannot do without, such as obtaining the license or the like. However, do not use the insurance; pay it only to reach the necessity, but do not benefit from it. If a fine is imposed on you, pay it from your own money and do not take it from the insurance company. Do not take the fine from them, because that is consuming wealth unjustly. Yes.
