The Ruling on Government Insurance in Canada and the Excess Amount
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A caller from Canada says: The Canadian government deducts a fixed amount from employees' salaries, and if one of them falls ill or loses his job, it gives him more than what was taken from him. Does the person who receives the excess amount have to return it or not?
Answer:
This is insurance, this is insurance, insurance that is not permissible; because it is consuming people's money without right. One pays a certain amount and takes back more than that, multiplied over. This type of insurance is not to be used.
