Is it permissible to work for a company that develops software for commercial insurance companies, and is that considered promoting evil?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Commercial insurance of all types is a forbidden contract because it involves (excessive uncertainty), riba (usury/interest), and qimar (gambling). If a company deals only with commercial insurance companies, then it is not permissible to work for it, as this constitutes aiding in sin and aggression.
