Working for a company that provides services to an insurance company
Question
I am looking for a job. I have seen many vacancies in banking sector but as its prohibited in Islam I never looked to work into banking. Its been a long time I have been looking to find a job. I have got an opportunity to work with one of the MNC, but they provide service to insurance company and my profile will be customer service executive. Its a BPO service provider. So should I join this company or not. Please help me in this case.
Answer
Insurance revolves around interest and gambling. Hence, refrain from this.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
