    Question: Is it permissible to accept the money from the insurance company due to an accident?

    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 377/362=N)

     

    It is prohibited to accept more than the amount you deposited, because the additional amount is interest which has been explicitly declared haram in Islam. The Quran says:

    واحل اللہ البیع و حرم الربوا (الآیۃ)

    ?Allah hath Permitted trade and forbidden usury? (2/275)

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
