Question

What is the fatwa in detail regarding health insurance?

Answer

Since the elements of qimaar (gambling) and interest are found in medical insurance schemes it is impermissible for one to involve himself in it.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Ask Mufti Online

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
