Is it permissible to use medical insurance cards for the family, and does the ruling differ if the insurance premium is paid by the company or by the resident?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the insurance is compulsory, or if there is a Shariah-compliant Islamic insurance company (cooperative insurance), then there is no harm in benefiting from it. However, if it is with a commercial insurance company, it is not permissible to benefit from it except to the extent that was deducted from you or paid by the company.
