Is it permissible to work as a security guard in a building, part of which is leased to insurance companies, knowing that the wages are paid from the rental income received from these companies, despite not dealing directly with them?
Working in commercial insurance companies is forbidden because it involves cooperation in sin and transgression. However, working as a guard for a property or a market that contains an insurance company appears to be permissible, because the insurance company here is subsidiary, and what is overlooked in a subsidiary is not overlooked in others. It does not matter that a part of the salary comes from the insurance company's money, for the guard's salary is in return for his permissible work.
