Hanafi joining two salat, buying car insurance if required by the government.
Question
1. Is Ok to perform two salat together for Hanafi person On journy behind the Imam who is Shafia or Maliki? 2 Now-a-days, different companies in North America provides some kinds of cards, by using those card customers generate some points. With these accumulated points instead of money, customer can buy goods from their company,it it considered Re`ba? 3. Am I allow to have car insurance that is required by government? Allah May reward you to help me concerning these matter
Answer
1. It will only be permissible in the case of Dhuhr and Asr Salaats if they are performed after Misl-e-Awwal (when the shadow of any object reaches its length plus the length of the shadow at the time of Zawaal). In the case of Maghrib and Esha Salaats, it will not be permissible.
2. We require more details on this before we can issue a ruling (such as on what system do these cards operate? What uses are these cards applied to? etc.)
3. Conventional insurances usually contain elements of gambling and interest, hence, impermissible. However, if one is required to so by law, then he is excused.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
