Studying/working in actuary

Wasalam May Allah bless you. There is nothing wrong in studying and working whilst analysing financial risk and its impact. However, the job itself will be depend on who is the employer, and on details of the role involved. See this link from the respected Mohammed Amin: You can also get in touch with IAA who has an Islamic finance expert panel, and ask them for guidance on how to have a career in Islamic financial field as an actuary. https://www.actuaries.org/iaa/IAA/Committees/Insur…
