Study Notes
Takaful Principles
- Takaful is a system of Islamic insurance
- Key principles in Takaful include: permissible takaful interest, duty of utmost good faith, material fact, indemnity, subrogation, contribution, proximate cause, and Tabarru (donation)
- Permissible Takaful Interest: A financial interest in a covered object or person. It exists when there's a loss potential if the object or person is damaged
- Duty of Utmost Good Faith: Requires voluntary and complete disclosure of all relevant facts material to a risk. All parties involved must be truthful and have good faith
- Material Fact: A fact that could influence a Takaful operator's decision on issuing a certificate or the contribution. Any breach of utmost good faith, whether innocent or fraudulent, makes the contract void.
- Principle of Indemnity: To restore the participant to the same financial state they were in before the loss
- Principle of Subrogation: The Takaful operator takes the place of the participant in recovering losses from a third party
- Principle of Contribution: Allows insurers to share the cost of an indemnity payment, if the insured has multiple policies
- Principle of Proximate Cause: Establishes the direct cause of a loss; not the remote cause
- Tabarru (Donation): A contribution to a fund to assist fellow participants; eliminates gharar (uncertainty) in the contract
- Example: If a property owner has insurance for Rs. 100,000 with two insurers, who each insured a portion, and the property is damaged for Rs. 60,000, the owner can claim the full Rs. 60,000 from any one of the insurers, or divided amounts

- Uniformity with Shariah principles and consistency with essential features of Takaful
- Prudence in managing takaful funds to enhance financial resilience
