What is the ruling on working as a computer مسؤول (official/person-in-charge) in a company that deals with commercial insurance and requests the creation of programs for this purpose?
Insurance is divided into commercial insurance (prohibited due to its inclusion of (uncertainty) and gambling) and cooperative insurance (permissible). It is forbidden to establish commercial insurance, subscribe to it, or work in it, because it involves aiding in sin, as Allah Almighty says: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." It is not permissible to purchase or develop programs related to commercial insurance. However, it is permissible to work in the company's permissible activities such as manufacturing and trade. Whoever is compelled to work in prohibited fields must leave their job with the company, as Allah Almighty says: "And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out And will provide for him from where he does not expect."
