Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to contract with commercial insurance companies based on (excessive uncertainty) and riba (usury), except in cases of extreme necessity. In such a case, one may only benefit to the extent of what was paid. As for Islamic cooperative insurance (Takaful), it is permissible, and employees, as well as those covered by their employer under the contract, may benefit from it. Marriage does not affect insured children unless the insurer has stipulated this condition.
