The Ruling on Working in an Insurance Company
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I am married and I do not have a job. I recently obtained a job at an insurance company for driver's licenses. Should I accept it?
Answer:
No, insurance companies are forbidden because they consume people's money unjustly, and they contain gambling, and they contain riba (usury or interest), and they contain conditions. Therefore, commercial insurance in all its forms is not permissible, and it is not permissible to work for them, because that is cooperating with them in sin and aggression. Yes.
