Assalamu Alaikum.<\/span>
\nHazrat, Death in Service is a benefit offered by most western employers <\/span>where they pay 3\/4 times your salary to your spouse\/dependents. I <\/span>believe\u00a0you\u00a0become\u00a0eligible\u00a0after\u00a0certain\u00a0few\u00a0years\u00a0of\u00a0service.<\/span><\/p>\n

More\u00a0details\u00a0found\u00a0here:<\/span>
\nhttps:\/\/www.unison.org.uk\/get-help\/knowledge\/pay\/death-in-service\/<\/a>\u00a0[1<\/a>]<\/span><\/p>\n

May Allah grant me long life, but if I do pass on, would this be halal <\/span>for\u00a0my\u00a0family?<\/span><\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From the information provided on the website of the link that you have provided, it will permissible and Halal for a family to accept the death in service benefit as this appears to be a benefit provided by the employer without any required input from the employee. Hence there is no element of gambling found.<\/span><\/p>\n
