Is it permissible to work as a medical insurance accountant in a hospital that deals with insurance companies, if the hospital only charges for its services?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
What is prohibited is working in commercial insurance or for companies and institutions to contract with it, and the sin falls upon the one who does so. As for insurance companies contracting with hospitals and pharmacies, this is based on a valid transaction. Similarly, it is permissible for eligible employees to benefit from this service. Therefore, working as a medical insurance accountant in these hospitals is not ruled impermissible, although it is better to distance oneself from anything connected to commercial insurance.
