Can You Buy Medical Insurance When You’re Healthy?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Is buying medical insurance allowed? i.e now I am healthy so I buy an insurance for e.g. 2 years. So if any medical emergency happens to me in the two years, then I can claim the insurance.

Bismillaah
