Can I take medical insurance as part of my salary package ?

Fatawa Question

Can I take medical insurance as part of my salary package ? If an employer gives you a choice between taking some extra cash other than salary or get medical benefits, and one knows that medical benefits / insurance is more beneficial to him in terms of his expenses, and therefore he chooses to get medical benefits. Please note : one does not do a contract with insurance company as it is the employer who does this; is this choosing of insurance from company instead of extra cash ok ? What if company says we give you salary, and if you want the benefit / insurance package we will deduct some money from your salary is this ok ? Please note that one does not do a contract with insurance, it’s the employer who does the contract for all its employees, the choice is for the employer to participate in it or not, so is this ok ?
