[Query regarding medical insurance]

Fatawa Question

Dear scholar, As-Salamu `Alaykum. First of all, I congratulate you and pray to Allah for the great service you are doing to Ummah through OnIslam. I work in a MNC company in India, and have a question regarding medical insurance they provide. Some amount would be deducted from my salary per annum towards medical insurance, and in case of hospitalization, I have to bear cost on the basis of 95 : 5 % (5 % being my contribution) towards myself and 80 : 20 % other family members. This medical insurance is optional and I can opt out of policy and no deduction will be done in my salary, but in that case, in India we don't have a medical insurance which can be termed Halal and so cheap. Can you, please, let me know whether it’s permitted to take the medical insurance or not ? Jazaka Allah. Mohammed Idrees.
