LUCKNOW, Aug 30: One of South Asia’s most influential Islamic seminaries has issued an edict telling Muslims not to buy life insurance policies because they violate Islamic law.
The Dar-ul-Uloom seminary of Deoband said Muslims should not invest in life insurance as “life is given by Allah and to insure it or assure it, is a crime in the eyes of Allah”.
“A true Muslim should never ever go for life insurance policies. This is against the wishes of Allah,” Maulana Shahid Rehan, a senior cleric at the seminary, told The Associated Press on Wednesday.—AP
