Q: Is an income benefit/provider insurance policy allowed whereby one will receive an income if disabled and cannot work. At the age of retirement the policy will lapse with no benefit.
A: All forms of insurance are haraam and impermissible, since they contain the elements of interest and gambling.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
