The Ruling on Life Insurance in Employment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Shaykh, I have three questions, just three. Really brief. Please go ahead. Shaykh, the first question is that I work for an insurance company, and one of the benefits of the job is that they give me health insurance and life insurance, and I am asking about the ruling on life insurance because I refused it.
The presenter:
Okay, listen to the answer.
The Shaykh:
By Allah, my brother, commercial insurance is haram (forbidden); it is not permissible. Do not work in it. Commercial insurance is haram and not permissible. A ruling has been issued on this
The questioner:
Did you see?
The Shaykh:
In fact, more than one ruling from the senior scholars. Yes.
