Adherents of Islam do not traditionally utilize conventional commercial insurance because standard policies conflict with core Islamic jurisprudence principles, specifically the prohibitions against Riba (usury or interest), Gharor (excessive uncertainty or ambiguity), and Maysir (gambling or games of chance). Conventional insurance contracts often involve paying a fixed premium for an uncertain payout amount, which classical scholars equate to speculative wagering and interest-based financial transactions. To overcome this religious barrier, Islamic financial markets developed alternative cooperative risk-sharing frameworks known as Takaful, allowing participants to protect one another collectively without engaging in forbidden financial structures.
