Working for an insurance company

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

 I have been looking for a job for the past 7 months and ive recently got feedback from an insurance company to work for them . I told them that i am not allowed to deall with insurance and they told me that they also deal with lifestyle products such as medical aid , hospital plans , RAF ,etc. I would like to know if its permissible for me to be a sales advisor o sales agent for these products . JazakAllah.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh

The job profile in reference is impermissible as one is directly involved in selling impermissible conventional products.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
