Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Insurance is of two types: commercial, which is void and forbidden, and Takaful (Islamic cooperative insurance) or cooperative, which is permissible. International organizations often deal with commercial insurance companies, and voluntary participation in them is not allowed. The participant or their heirs are only entitled to benefit within the limits of the premiums paid.
