Question
Jamiatul Falaagh Muslim Burial Service attends to the Janaazah service of Muslims who have joined them. A monthly fee (R40) is paid for life, that is, for as long as a person is alive. They will attend to everything related to the funeral and burial. Is it permissible to join this organisation?
Answer
Although the burial society serves a very good and beneficial service, the contract between the society and the members is haraam. Their current contract is insurance which is haraam. They should design a contract which is in conformity with the Shariah.
