Ask about mortgage insurance information
I have a client who is Muslim and I understand the issues with earned interest. Client would like to get permanent insurance, but he was not sure about whole life being OK. The cash value does earn a return, but the company does not state a fixed interest rate. Dividends are a return of premium based on performance of the entire product (such investments, expenses and actual death claims). Another alternative is variable life, where the cash value can be put into separate accounts (similar to mutual funds) and not interest bearing. Any opinions on if whole life is acceptable for Muslims?

I’m not sure what is more idiotic. Having to do fiance theory somersaults as to not pay interest such as a mortgage or to cut your son’s foreskin, or to avoid eating non halal, or watching your fashion statement or washing according to a star clock or trying to figure out where a city is so you can pray in that direction, or if an astronaut, trying to figure out how to pray facing mecca as your space craft zooms around the globe. This religion is just sooo far behind, I would call it a cave man religion.

I dont think life insurance is allowed in Islam because it involves gharar (buying/selling something where it is not known whether what is being bought/sold will actually be achieved/delivered, or in what specific quantity, thus putting one’s money at undue risk to being lost) and riba (usury, interest). Allaah has forbidden all transactions that are based on riba, and all transactions which involve deceit, as a mercy to this ummah, and to protect them from that which may harm them.
But they are allowed to save money in the event of sudden death.

I don’t know, but term life is ALWAYS a better deal for anyone of any religion, or no religion at all. Whole life is just throwing money away.

First, if he has no dept he needs no insurance.
Second, level term should be purchased until he has no debt.
Any other policy is throwing your money away; he would be wise to make other investments, if he wants growth, and Not with an insurance company.
