Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Commercial insurance in all its forms is impermissible () due to the presence of (uncertainty), jahalah (ignorance), and riba (usury) within it. Islamic Fiqh Councils have unanimously affirmed its prohibition. Cooperative insurance is an exception to this, as it is permissible because it is based on donation and mutual assistance, not profit; thus, it falls under cooperation in righteousness. Commercial insurance is not permissible except in cases of dire necessity.
