Employment in an Insurance Company for Writing and Clerical Work

Authored by: Fatwas of the Saudi Fatwa Committee

Engaging in writing and clerical work in an insurance company is not permissible for a Muslim. This is because working in such a role constitutes aiding in sin and transgression, which Allah has explicitly forbidden. Allah Almighty says in the Qur'an:

"وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ"

(Translation: And do not help one another in sin and transgression.) [Al-Ma'idah: 2]

[Reference: Al-Lajnah Ad-Daimah, Fatwa No. 3117]
