Subscribing to the Medical Protection Society (MPS)

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Certain doctors apply for jobs in private hospitals. The requirement for getting the job is that they need to have membership with the Medical Protection society (MPS). If they do not have such a membership, the hospital will not employ them. Monthly payment is made and in return the medical practitioners/doctors receive advice and direction in the medical field. The MPS also pays for legal claims against the practitioner/doctor. Is membership to the MPS permissible or this resembles insurance?

Bismillaah

A: This seems like a doubtful area.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

ASalamu -Alaykum Ive got married in 2010 to my now husband ,two days after that he told me he must go back to jhb. After six months being married to him I found out that he remarried his 2nd wife two days after our marraige. He has never since notl lived with me .He comes home just for 3 or 4 days and then leave, of that 4 days I still have to share with his 2nd wife.He claims I haveto be satisfied for other men abuses their wives. I feel this is more than being abused . He also told me he will never remarry his2nd wife again because she is doing shirk and black magic. He respects her more than me. He now want to give me one talaaq and don’t want me to do a fasagh.His reason for talaaq is because hewants the 2nd wife to think he is no longer withme and than after 3 month of Idah he want to talaaq her.He also wants her to take him to the MJC to witness the talaaq but I can’t witness his talaaq to her.is there a method to to this madness.He annot defend himself when I ask him question. I think he fears his 2nd wife more than his CReator.   Shukran
