Working as an actuary
Question
I would like to know if the Ulama know of any business/firm or entity in which an actuary can practise his/her profession at?
Answer
As far as our knowledge is concerned it is not possible for an actuary to work in a purely halaal environment.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
