The answer

Many fatwas have been issued prohibiting health insurance due to its inclusion of consuming wealth unjustly (أكل المال بالباطل), ambiguity (gharar), and gambling (maysir). The father of the questioner's husband must repent to Allah and cancel the health insurance contract. He is only entitled to what he has paid in premiums. Anything in excess of that should be disposed of in charitable causes and for the general welfare of Muslims.
