Working for A Company That Covers All Employees with Insurance

18-02-2000

Question 1401

I read your replay to the question regarding working for a life insurance company. The company I work for provides as part of the benefits package a life insurance policy for all employees. Is this haram on my part even if I had not asked for it? What does one do regarding such a situation if the company does not cancell the policy upon request?
May allah bless you for your help.

Answer

Praise be to Allah.

So long as it is not you who has set up and agreed to the insurance, there is no sin on you working there, so long as the work is permissible. And Allaah knows best.
