Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
1) All forms of voluntary life insurance are not permissible as they have three prohibited elements in them: interest, gambling and uncertainty.
2) In order for us to advise your friend further could you kindly clary which company does your friend work for? Is it a Muslim company? Kindly send your email to [email protected]. Ref. Mahmood Suliman.
