Is it permissible to take out insurance for the Masjid?

Answered by 

Shaykh Ebrahim Desai

Please tell us if we can buy Masjid insurance.

Answer:

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

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

If one is required by law to take out a haram conventional insurance scheme, one will be excused. Make Tawbah and Istighfaar and ask Allah to save you from the evil consequences of the haram.[1]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
