Shariah Position on Insurance
• Three major groups.– Those who consider both the concept and
practice of commercial insurance un-Islamic.– Those who are in agreement with the present
insurance and find nothing wrong in it.– Those who accept the concept of insurance, but
find prohibited elements in its present practice.
