| The article focuses on the perception of the institute of insurance in the Muslim milieu of the Volga-Ural region in the beginning of the XX c. The authors analyze argument of theologians who considered insurance permissible from the point of view of sharia while supporting their opinion by the ikhtilaf al-dar theory, stating that the Volga-Ural region in the context of the Russian Empire represented a dār al-harb (war territory). The article describes approaches exercised by the traditionalists (Cadimists) and modernists (Jadidists) to the question of permissibility of insurance from the sharia perspective and provide parallels to the scholarly positions from other regions of the Muslim world. The article is concluded by the translation of the fatwa by Zaynulla Rasulev “On permissibility of insuring house, other belongings and life from various adversities.” | Key words: insurance, Zaynulla Rasulev, fatwa, dā, r al-Islam, r al-harb, Islamic insurance, Takaful | Pages: 216 - 219 |
