Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

We have answered your query previously. Please find below the answer:

1) In order for us to advise, please clarify what is your profession? Explain the services of the organisation you work for and what exactly will you be assisting your client with.

2) If you are not making any contribution towards the insurance, then the benefits are regarded as a gift to you from the employee. You may therefore make use of such benefits.[i]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

[i] الدر المختار شرح تنوير الأبصار وجامع البحار (ص: 560)

وجه المنا سبة ظاهر (هي) لغة: التفضيل على الغير ولو غير مال.

وشرعا: (تمليك العين مجانا) أي بلا عوض، لا أن عدم العوض شرط فيه، وأما تمليك الدين من غير من عليه الدين فإن أمره بقبضه صحت لرجوعها إلى هبة العين (وسببها: إرادة الخير للواهب) دنيوي كعوض ومحبة وحسن ثناء

الأصل للشيباني ط قطر (3/ 419)

قلت: أرأيت مسلماً وهب لنصراني (3) هبة أو ليهودي أو مجوسي هل يجوز ذلك؟ قال: نعم. قلت: وكذلك الذمي لو كان هو الواهب للمسلم؟ قال: نعم. قلت: وهما في ذلك بمنزلة المسلمين؟ قال: نعم.

مختصر القدوري (ص: 124)

الهبة: تصح بالإيجاب والقبول وتتم القبض فإذا قبض الموهوب له في المجلس بغير أمر الواهب جاز
