#1 Wow, learn something every day.

"Health insurance is haraam like other types of commercial insurance..."

So, Obamacare is a new source of grievance?

#2 OK, how does Obama square this?

Health insurance is haraam like other types of commercial insurance, because it is based on ambiguity, gambling and riba (usury). This is what is stated in fatwas by the senior scholars.

In Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daaimah (15/277) there is a quotation of a statement of the Council of Senior Scholars concerning the prohibition on insurance and why it is haraam.

1. In the saheeh hadeeth it says that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade ambiguous transactions.

2. When the ambiguity becomes prevalent, it becomes like gambling, whereupon it comes under the general prohibition on gambling

#3 Looks like Muhammed did not like insurance agents. Can't really say I blame him.

The fact that the state makes insurance compulsory does not make it permissible; rather the burden of sin is waived from the person or company who is obliged to do that. As for the broker company which is doing this work by choice, it is guilty of sin.

#4 Insurance companies ARE haraam. Obamacare will result in their demise. Healthcare is the responsibility of the STATE! Soetoro will see to it!
