Question

Slms.
I’m an accountant.
I have to pay comprehensive insurance as ordered by my boss.
I’m I sinful ?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Assuming the employer is the one who authorized and finalised purchase of the insurance, the accountant will not be sinful for simply making the payment/transfer on his behalf.[1]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
