Courier company providing insurance for lost or damaged parcels as part of their service
Question
A person shipped an item with a courier, only paying for the courier service without any additional insurance fees. The courier company does however provide insurance for lost or damaged parcels as part of their service.
A parcel was lost and the courier company offered to pay out the value of the item, subject to one filling out a claim form. Will it be permissible to make this claim and recieve the payment of the value of the lost item?
Answer
Yes, if the courier company is doing it of their own.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

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.
