Q:
1. Is the earning from takaaful insurance clearly stated as haraam?
2. If such a person invites a friend for a dinner party at his home, will it be halaal for him to consume such type of food?
A:
1. Up to this point we do not find a difference between takaaful and conventional insurance. Just changing words around does not make a haraam into permissible.
2. If he is going to feed the friend mainly from this type of a wealth then the friend should kindly excuse himself.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
