What is the ruling on receiving a monthly salary from an insurance company when work is stopped due to illness or lack of job opportunities, given that the company pays the insurance premiums without deducting them from the employee's salary?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the employee does not pay for insurance, and the company does so voluntarily or as a legal obligation, then there is no objection to the employee receiving the costs of treatment and salary in the event of absence from work. This is because it is considered a donation from the company to its workers, and the sin of the illicit method falls upon the company, not the employee, who has not committed anything forbidden and had no role in this insurance process.
