Q: I am a new Muslim and I had a medical insurance which I took before I became a Muslim which I am still paying. I have a medical condition in my heart which recently my insurance had covered the medical expenses when I needed it, since I didn't have any other means to pay for it at that particular time. Is medical insurance haraam?
A: Taking out medical insurance is impermissible as the elements of gambling and interest are found in it. For further details refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/1514
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
