The answer

This insurance is forbidden and impermissible, as it is a type of prohibited gambling (). It involves clear uncertainty () and ignorance, where the insurance company takes a sum of money in exchange for guaranteeing stolen items if the card is stolen; otherwise, it consumes the money. This is an unlawful consumption of people's wealth. Furthermore, most credit cards include forbidden usurious (ribawi) conditions.
