- Is it permissible for a Muslim daughter to accept or take some money from her Christian father while she is a student? - And is she advised to arrange her own health insurance, especially since her father will no longer cover it, given that it is mandatory in her country of residence?
Firstly, it is permissible for a Muslim woman to accept financial support and gifts from her non-Muslim father, as long as it does not lead to her compromising any part of her religion. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, accepted gifts from Al-Muqawqis and An-Najashi, both of whom were Christians.
Secondly, commercial insurance, including health insurance, is forbidden in all its forms, because it is based on gharar (excessive uncertainty) and gambling. However, if a person is forced into it, there is no sin upon them, and the sin falls upon the one who compelled them. If your father undertakes this insurance, he has relieved you of the burden. If he refuses to pay for the insurance, it is permissible for you to subscribe to your own private insurance, because you are compelled to do so. It is not advisable to subscribe unless your father genuinely refuses to do so.
