Assalamu alaykum

I have a question which I hope you can answer.
I have received an employment offer from a company which provides medical insurance to all its employees.
The companies buys the insurance scheme themselves, they do not deduct any portion from my salary.
It is permissible to accept work under such employment terms?

I am not interested in the insurance scheme itself. My intention, inshaa Allah, is to do without any insurance if I get sick.
I just wanted to know, Mufti sab, whether my employment itself is halal.

JazakAllah khair

Yes if they have paid it and not recovering the cost through the salary then yes its permissible

And Allah knows best!

Salaam Mufti,

My employer is also offering health insurance benefits and I do not directly pay for it. However, it will go on my P11d and reduce my tax code/allowance. Is it still permissible?

Jazakallah Khair
