Insurance and Medical aid

Q: We have a tyre business which is a Dunlop franchise, they have this tyre insurance for the customers. Any damage to the tyre and they send a replacement after doing their tests. They charge us R10 per tyre for this which I pass onto the customer.

I add it to the cost and then add my markup. I tried getting out of this but it’s compulsory from their side.

How should I handle this… Is it permissible?

Should I add my markup first then the R10. Because my intention is not to make money on the insurance…

Q: Is funeral cover permissible in Islam?

Q: A person's estate may be liable to pay more than 10 million in estate duty.

Q: "I've been informed by my Muslim friend, an Israeli citizen, that according to the Mashaaikh in Palestine (Israel), participating in Clalit Health Services is considered permissible. Clalit is a health maintenance organization where members pay a fixed monthly fee for comprehensive healthcare coverage. Considering this structure, I seek further clarification and alignment with Islamic principles.

Additionally, is the model of Clalit Health Services similar to that of medical aid commonly seen in other places, or are there significant differences that I should be aware of? I kindly request insights on this matter, and if further research is necessary for accurate understanding, it would be appreciated if you could provide guidance on the key aspects to explore."

Q: I have a tyre repair shop. I want to get this RMI Accreditation for it. Its like a motoring board and carries weight in the vehicle repair and service industry.

One of the requirements in order to be accredited is that I must have a 3rd party insurance to the value of 500k. So if something happens to the customer's vehicle in the shop or a customer's vehicle gets stolen or damaged, etc. the insurance will cover the vehicle.

So the insurance won’t be for my business, it will only be 3rd party to cover the customers vehicles, etc.

Is it permissible to take out that insurance to get the accreditation or must I stay away from it completely. 

Q: A family member's car was stolen. They are getting paid out by the insurance. They have been accredited for Hajj today. Can this insurance money be used to perform Hajj?
