1. I just needed some insurance. That's all.
2. The 'contract between myself & the insurance company is to protect myself & my family whenever we faced difficulties in health & loss of lives. That's all.
3. Whatever they (the insurance co.) do with the money is absolutely has 'nothing to do' with the contract agreed between the insurance company & me.
4. If one says haram because they take into consideration all other investment the insurance company dealt with, which may include 'interest/ursury' on short term deposits, that's absolutely has nothing to do with me.
5. If there's a 'fatwa' prohibits the insurance due to 'source' or 'income' of the funds, then we cannot sell food, sell house, sell anything to the bankers, to the businessman too as their businesses are financed by banks thus their source of money is haram. We basically infringe ourselves from all economic activities & infringe ourselves from all benevolent reasons. And that is NOT Islamic.

baserunner,
Get out of your cave, dude. Islam actually requires people to challenge everything including science before embrace it.
Islam is just fine. The individuals& people complicate things, manipulate verses as they wish, all at the expense of others & the religion.

koyla K,
You might belonged to communities of some irrational Muslims in India, Afghanistan, Pakistan & Bangladesh that are so ignorant about modernization & excel in life as urged by true Islamic teachings.

Insurance is all about protection .It is just a contract between you and the insurance company.
Be it just a motor vehicle insurance, house insurance , accidental insurance or life insurance.
Be insured than to be sorry later.
Forget about religion.
In the case you cant locate any " halal" insurance.
And you feels bad about the interest from your insurance.Donate those "haram" interest to poor people.
note: Theres no such thing as halal nor haram.
As haram things can be made halal and vice versa.If to be so "100% islamic" your question ought not to be here in yahoo.As Yahoo is not "islamic".
In simple meaning if a muslim wants to travel , muslims ought to use islamic planes.But bears in mind that Boeing and Airbus are NOT made by muslims.So will you still flys ?

I do not have the knowledge to answer your very detailed (bravo!) question (n.b., for the non-Moslems among us, "Fatwa" is a "religious proclamation", such as the Ten Commandments to some religions; "Haram" means "forbidden", such as would be the eating of pork to both Jews and Moslems).
I am sure your local Imam (i.e., Islamic Priest) could easily answer this question for you, and even recommend suitable insurers, but below are some weblinks that may also help (please note that I cannot vouch for their validity, and be forewarned that they may use sacred text or names, which might be considered "offensive" to the Orthodox).
Salaam! (Peace!)
P.S. Your question would have been better asked in the "Society & Culture > Religion & Spirituality" forum. If you live in Malaysia, and, presumably, you thought that was important (i.e., if you thought you had no choice in insurers due to your location), then you could have mentioned it as an aside, such as, "FWIW, I live in Malaysia where there are very few insurance agencies"). I would also point out that you need not have addressed your question only to Muslims, as there are lots of people on this site who can help who are not of the Islamic faith; even if you didn't want responses from non-Moslems, there is no way for you to know that one way or the other (if it is *that* important to you, then you should not use this site).

Welcome to Islam, sister. You can not choose your parents. But irrespective of who your parents are, you can choose the true and the shortest route to Allah. Ma shaa Allah you have been lucky to do that . Life is not all that you want it to be. But Alhamdo Lillah you got the best deal. You accepted Islam and so did your husband. Your father is in the state of shock and when he recovers and sees a better person in you as a Muslimah, he might think twice before saying anything wrong to you. May Allah help you every step of the way. For born Muslims like me, you are a symbol of good luck and I truly admire your hubby and you.
