The answer

Commercial insurance in all its forms is prohibited. As for the Takaful program at Bank AlJazira, it is permissible cooperative insurance, based on the principle of mutual guarantee (takaful) among policyholders. Furthermore, its contracts include an investment saving component that does not guarantee capital or profit, but rather relies on investing funds in murabaha transactions. It is permissible to work at Bank AlJazira, provided that one adheres to the decisions of the Sharia Committee.
