The Ruling on Medical Insurance Cards from the Employer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. There has been a lot of talk recently about medical insurance cards and the like. In the job I have, medical insurance cards are distributed to me and all members of my family. Please note that this insurance is not for a fee, but rather in exchange for working in this field, under a single contract with several conditions. If you take it
Answer:
without a fee, the company pays for it; if you do not work for them, you pay the insurance, and this is a condition imposed on you. Yes, there is a consideration, there is a consideration, but they take it from the company you work for, or the boss you work under. Insurance in all its forms is forbidden, and it has become possible to make end-of-life decisions for the elderly, in all its types, medical or otherwise, all of it, because it is consuming wealth unjustly, and because it is a flight from fate and ignorance, involving risks. A person should rely on Allah, and if something happens to him, he treats it according to his means.
