Is Travel Insurance Haram? Is selling travel insurance as secondary revenue without PROMOTING it (i.e. only providing policy if a client asks for it) ok? or can we send the proceeds to a charity?



Bismillah

Assalamu alaikum,

All conventional insurances contain the elements of gambling and interest, which are haraam, hence insurances and it's income will be forbiden and impermissible.

And Allah Taa`la Knows Best.
