5. Contract It is a combination of tabarru’ contract (donation) and agency or profit sharing contract. Participants own the Takaful funds and managed by the operator. Participants give up individual rights to gain collective rights over contribution and benefits.

It is an exchange contract (sale & purchase) between insurer and insured.

A BRIEF COMPARISON BETWEEN TAKAFUL AND CONVENTIONAL INSURANCE

Issues Takaful Conventional

8. Investment The funds shall be invested in any interest free Shariah justified scheme. The entire procedure shall comply the guidelines of the Shariah. Investment returns must not be driven by any unethical commercial activities. Assets of the takaful funds are only invested in shariah-compliant instruments.

The funds may also be invested in an instrument that does not comply with the conventional requirements. There is no restriction apart from those imposed for prudential reasons.

9. Legal Capacity The Minimum Age for a Person to Hold a Takaful Certificate is 18 Years (Sec. 64 Takaful Act 1984)

The Minimum Age for a Person to Buy a policy is 16 years. But a child between the age of 10 and 15 may also have the right to have it subject to the written consent obtained from the respective guardian. (Sec. 153 (1)(2) Insurance Act 1996)

10. Liability of The Insurer/ Operator

Takaful Operator acts as the administrator of the scheme and pays the takaful benefits from the Takaful funds. In the event deficiency in the Takaful funds, Takaful operator will provide interest free loan to rectify the deficiency.

Insurer is liable to pay the Insurance benefits as promised from its assets (conventional funds and shareholders’ funds)

11. Profits The proportion of the share of the profits is determined in the contract for as long as the certificate is still in force, but the amount itself will depend on the investment performance or returns each year.

In a life policy, it does not mean that the certificate can freely choose to give the certificate holders a share of profit at whatever amount they wish and whenever they like.

HIBAH & WASI (Definition)

Definition

Hibah Wasi

Giving one’s wealth to others without the expectation of any replacement or exchange with the transferring effect on the ownership during lifetime or executed upon death. It is applicable either to family members (legal heirs) or members who are not entitled to inheritance.

Hibah also applicable for both Muslim and Non-Muslim.

The person(s) named can only act as an administrator/executor (wasi) who will be responsible for distributing the person covered’s monies to the rightful heirs in accordance to the Faraid Law (Distribution Law for Muslim) or Distribution Act 1958; as amended by the Distribution (Amendment) Act 1997 for Non-Muslim.

FATWA ON THE PERMISSIBILITY OF HIBAH

1. Takaful benefits can be used for hibah, since it is the right of the participants. Therefore, the

participants should be allowed to exercise their rights, according to their choice. as long as it

does not contradict the Shari’ah;

2. The status of hibah in takaful plan does not change into a will (wasiah), since this type of hibah

is a conditional hibah, in which the hibah is an offer to the recipient of hibah for only a

specified period. In the context of takaful, the takaful benefit is both associated with the death

of the participant, as well as maturity of the certificate. If the participant remains alive on

maturity, the takaful benefits are owned by the participant, but if he dies within such period,

then the hibah shall be executed;

3. A participant has the right to revoke the hibah before the maturity date, because conditional

hibah is only deemed to be completed after delivery is made (qabdh);

4. A participant has the right to revoke the hibah to one party and transfer it to other parties or

terminate the takaful participation, if the recipient of the hibah dies before maturity; and

5. The takaful nomination form has to be standardized and must stipulate clearly the status of the

nominee, either as a beneficiary or an executor (wasi) or a trustee. Any matter concerning

distribution of takaful benefits must be based on the contract. Participants should be clearly

explained on the implication of every contract being executed.
