Resolution No.(104) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

“Ruling on the Medical Insurance of those Working for the American Jordanian Company for Apparel (Jordache)“

Date: 5/4/1427 AH, corresponding to 3/5/2006 AD.

 

 

 

 

Question:

What is the Sharia ruling as regards the medical insurance of the workers of the American Jordanian Company for Apparel (Jordache) at the general clinics?

Answer: All success is due to Allah.

The Board is of the view that medical insurance is a branch of cooperative insurance, which is considered from the bare contracts. This contract isn`t affected by the contributors` ignorance as regards its benefit to them because they are contributors. Moreover, it isn`t risky, usurious or aleatory. 

Taking the above medical insurance into consideration, we realize that it takes the same ruling as cooperative insurance, which is an insurance with an institution that cares about workers, and isn`t a traditional insurance company. However, the Board recommends adjusting the maximum of age: (until  fifty) to become (as long as he works for the company).

The Board also recommends deleting article (14) of the draft agreement so as for the medical insurance to become effective through that institution`s commitment to cover the workers medical care during the period assigned in the draft. Based on that, the medical insurance included in the future draft agreement becomes permissible from the view point of Sharia. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the Islamic ruling when parents oblige their son or daughter to divorce or marry, and this actually takes place, although it is against their will?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
When the husband utters the word of divorce, without being forced or threatened, divorce takes place and we recommend that you visit the General Iftaa` Dept. to be given the suitable advice in this regard. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

For passing time, my friends and I have called a famous diviner. She told me that somebody had cast a spill on me not to get married for the rest of my life. I didn`t believe her, but I can`t forget her words. How can I protect myself from such thing?

Praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds.

Dealing with diviners is forbidden and what you are suffering from is due to your having consulted that diviner. Have trust in Allah and ask Him for forgiveness, but rest assured that whatever Allah has decreed will take place. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

What is the ruling of Sharia on exfoliating the skin on the face?

Praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
According to medical doctors, exfoliation means removing a layer of skin to expose new skin. If this procedure is harmless then it is permissible since this is a kind of treatment and not skinning. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

What is the ruling on swearing a false oath by the Holy Quran?

Swearing a false oath by the Holy Quran dips the oath-taker in Hellfire, and one who had done so should turn to Allah in repentance, seek His forgiveness, give back rights to whom they belong, and pay the oath expiation.
