Working for an insurance company
Question
Is people who are working in L.I.C (life insurance corporation), their income is halal or haram?
Answer
Insurance is haraam as the elements of gambling and interest are found in it. Hence, the wealth earned through insurance is impermissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
