Question
Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, Respected Mufti Sahib, My name is Ammara and I am from Pakistan (Karachi). I work online for a doctor. My job is that when the doctor treats a patient, I prepare and send the treatment bill to the insurance company so that the doctor can receive payment for his services. Both the doctor and the patient have agreements with the insurance company. The insurance company pays a portion of the amount, the patient pays some part, and some amount is written off. My role is only to prepare and submit a truthful and original bill. I neither take nor give interest, nor do I calculate interest, and there is no fraud or dishonesty involved in my work. Is this type of job permissible for me according to Shariah or not? Jazakum Allahu Khairan. Ammara Karachi, Pakistan
Islamic Ruling & Answer
VerifiedWalekumussalam warahmatullahi wabaraktu,
According to the situation you described, your work is only to prepare a correct and genuine bill after the treatment and send it to the insurance company. There is no giving or taking of interest in your role, nor calculating interest, and there is no fraud or dishonesty involved.
If your role is truly limited to preparing truthful bills based on real information, and you are not directly helping in any unlawful matter (such as preparing or promoting an interest-based contract), then this type of job is generally permissible.
However, you must always make sure that you do not assist in any false statement, fake entry, or unlawful claim, because helping in sin is not allowed.
And Allah knows best.
