Q: I would like to know if it is permissible to have a type of funeral cover, in the area I live there is a type of funeral cover that you can join at the Mosque near to you. E.g. You pay an amount of R20.00 every month so in the case you pass away then your hole at the graveyard will be paid for & any other like transporting you to graveyard, etc. But what if you pass away after 6 months & the amount you paid them is not even half the costs of your burial, etc. & if you were paying for long time already now & you are still alive then you would have paid much more then what it would actually cost to do your janaazah. Please give a detail explanation if it is permissible in Islam to have something like this & why?

Q: If a medical aid model is proposed where one deals directly with the hospital and there is no middle man in between e.g. one pays a monthly fee and the hospital will now treat one whenever he gets sick, then will this be permissible?

Q: I live in a country where health insurance is compulsory. But the fine for not being insured would be less than the fees for being insured I think. On the other hand we wouldn't be able to pay my mothers treatment otherwise. Plus I think my wife is pregnant. And the costs that come with that also I wouldn't be able to pay without health insurance. The only alternative I can think of would be not to register her here but keep her registered in her home country and let her be treated there. But that would cause a lot of difficulty for us. What shall we do in this situation?
