The description of the company's system indicates that its insurance is cooperative and permissible, as long as the company has a reliable supervisory board overseeing its transactions. The company's role is to manage the subscribers' premiums as an agent or hired worker, and to cover damages from the premiums collected from employees, among themselves. The company has no relationship with these premiums except that of a hired agent or a working partner (mudarib). Therefore, there is no objection to subscribing to its insurance system.
