Fatwas and resolutions on conventional insurance
• 1972 Fatwa by National Council for Islamic religious affairs of Malaysia that life insurance is not lawful as it contains gharar, maysir and riba.
• 1985, OIC Fiqh academy, in its resolution No.9 (2/9) rules that commercial insurance is haram as it contains gharar etc.
![Page 14: Summary of Presentation Origins & Development Global Takaful Industry The Takaful Concept Key Differences Practicals of Takaful Q & A 12/23/2015Takaful.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033011/5697bfea1a28abf838cb75aa/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What is gharar?
• Uncertainty,• deception, risk, • hazard, • ignorance.• Gharar is where the buyer does not know
what he bought, or the seller does not know what he sold (Ibn Hazm).
![Page 15: Summary of Presentation Origins & Development Global Takaful Industry The Takaful Concept Key Differences Practicals of Takaful Q & A 12/23/2015Takaful.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033011/5697bfea1a28abf838cb75aa/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
ARGUMENTS FOR GHARAR
• Identify the gharar element in conventional insurance.
• Will insured get the compensation as promised?
• How much will the Insured get?• When will the compensation be paid?• Can the above be considered gharar? If yes,
what extent of gharar, minor or major?

Riba
• Investment of premium in riba-based financial instruments (e.g, interest bearing accounts and conventional bonds).
• May impose charges for late payment of premiums.

Investment
• Premiums are invested in non-shariah compliant instruments – what about shariah investment link?
• Can the legal maxim “whatever leads to haram, is haram itself” be applied here?
• Degree

Maysir (gambling)
• How does conventional insurance involve gambling?
• By purchasing the policy with non-proportionate premium in the hope of getting much higher compensation should peril occur.
![Page 19: Summary of Presentation Origins & Development Global Takaful Industry The Takaful Concept Key Differences Practicals of Takaful Q & A 12/23/2015Takaful.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033011/5697bfea1a28abf838cb75aa/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
ELEMENTS OF GHARAR, RIBA MAYSIR IN TAKAFUL?
• These elements do not exist in Takaful as long as it is a contract of taburru’ (gratuitous contract), not a contract of exchange (‘aqd mu’awadah) as in conventional insurance.

FINANCE – PREMIUM DISTRIBUTION Segregation of funds - 5 different accounts Premium Receiving Account. From here distributed to
respective accounts. Commissions, Levies, Stamp duty and purchases of Yellow Cards & Motor Certs drawn from here.
Other accounts are Operator, Risk Fund, Charity Account.
Operator Account – office Rent, stationery, salaries, marketing & promotion, transport, office running
Risk Fund – Direct Claims expenses, Reinsurance. Surplus Account – If and once Surplus amount is
determined it is moved from the Risk Fund to this account for sharing among qualifying participants
![Page 36: Summary of Presentation Origins & Development Global Takaful Industry The Takaful Concept Key Differences Practicals of Takaful Q & A 12/23/2015Takaful.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033011/5697bfea1a28abf838cb75aa/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
CLAIMS Claims payment is considered one of the justifications for
the existence of Takaful – not a wasted expense. Reality of covered events and need to cushion oneself.
There are no ex- gratia considerations. A claim is either payable or not. Equity demands that what you do to one, be ready to do to the entire group
Payments are out of the risk fund and must be sanctioned by the Sharia Department upon satisfying themselves
The highest body of appeal on any claims issue is the Shariah Supervisory Council whose ruling is final unless one wishes to pursue in a court of law
To cushion the Fund some of the Surplus at the end of the period is retained in the Risk Fund and rest is distributed among qualifying participants.
![Page 37: Summary of Presentation Origins & Development Global Takaful Industry The Takaful Concept Key Differences Practicals of Takaful Q & A 12/23/2015Takaful.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033011/5697bfea1a28abf838cb75aa/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
REINSURANCE / RETAKAFUL Reinsured/Cedant becomes Takaful Operator
and Reinsurer becomes Retakaful Operator The Retakaful Operator must be Sharia
Compliant – we expect surplus from them as we share surplus with our participants
Led Inward facultative support to other players but obtain outwards facultative only from compliant operators who will support the Surplus already shared
Give the Mandatory cessions to Kenya Re, Zep Re and Africa under their Sharia compliant windows / operations

PECULIARITY OF LONG TERM TAKAFUL
Promotion, Product Development, Underwriting and Reinsurance are more less as in General
Group Life and Credit Protection surplus share not to individuals but companies and lenders who are in actual sense the participants. Are annual
Pension & Annuities and Endowment Plans are long term investments. Funds are not segregated.
No Surplus Share is envisaged. Only substantial growth each year and end term bonuses.
PA Rider may be considered for Surplus Share
