INSURANCE PROHIBITION

Members of a healthy society are by nature insured by their strong bonds. Family and frineds ought to be insurance enough if a society lives according to Islamic laws. Insurers in our world today add much less to society and take a whole lot more. Anyone who knows the basics of insurance knows that overall the money given to insurance companies is far more than what is given back when something goes wrong. I would actually even dare to say that insurance causes some people, driver, etc...to be more reckless and hence could actually be a cause for life endangerment.
Just because we managed to psh ourselves to a situation where selfishness rules and insurance became the main method of protecting ourselves from unpredictabilities of life need not give insurance any legitimacy.

FASTING

Fasting is one of those things that are driven by the very nature of humans. As Maslow's pyramid of needs classify it hunger is a very big motivator in human behavior. When a person is pre-occupied by hunger he is given the opportunity to think and contemplate spiritual matters. Also it gives people the opportunity to feel the misery of hunger that the less fortunates endure.
Economically speaking it is also a mean by which expenditure can be reduced. Fasting has also been shown to have positive medical effects.
