Answer

Conventional health insurance is generally not permissible due to the elements found in such contracts that conflict with Shari' principles. However, if a person is compelled by law or faces a genuine necessity, some scholars permit taking the insurance to the extent required, while avoiding benefiting beyond what one paid unless necessary.
