Working for an insurance company

· 14 Dhuʻl-Qiʻdah 1436 AH1 min readRoman Urdu

Question

I have been offered a job with an insurance company. I told them that I'm not allowed to deal with insurance, however they said that they sell lifestyle products such as medical aid and hospital aid and those kind of products. My question is, am I allowed to be a sales person for these kind of products.

Answer

These products are not permissible. How can you be doing a sale for products that are impermissible.

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