Abstract

A classical commercial insurance, which is used widely as the risk management methods for risk transferring and risk financing, includes the factors of interests, gambling and uncertainty, In 1985 Islamic Fiqc Academy declared that the classical commercial insurance violates the Islamic fundamental principles and beliefs, alteratively recommending a mutual insurance and takaful. A basic principle of takaful is the mutual aid in the Islamic community. On the basis of mutual aid, takaful participants (insurance policyholder) establishes the takaful fund, which is cooperation fund by participant contribution. Takaful fund is separated from shareholders' fund, and the profit and loss of takaful fund are responsible for takaful policyholder. Ownership and operation right of takaful belong to the takaful participants. In takaful, takaful company takes a role of agent or management operator. Comparing to the classical insurance, takaful has the rights of profit dividend, voting of executives, access to accounting books etc. which are additional favors for business company or individuals as takaful participants. Business companies and individuals should consider to use takaful to transfer risk and to enjoy takaful's additional advantages.

리스크 전가와 리스크 재무기법으로 많이 활용되는 전통적인 상업보험은 이자, 도박성, 불확실성을 내포하고 있다. Islamic Fiqh Academy는 1985년 전통적 상업보험이 이슬람 교리에 어긋난다고 판결하고 금지하였으며 대체방안으로 상호보험이나 타카풀보험을 권고하였다. 타카풀보험제도의 기본운영원리는 이슬람 공동체의 상호부조이다. 타카풀보험회사는 타카풀보험펀드를 설정하여 타카풀보험참가자(보험계약자)들의 위험관리를 위한 공동의 펀드로 운용하며 이는 타카풀보험회사의 주주펀드와 분리되어 운영된다. 타카풀보험회사는 단순히 타카풀보험계약을 관리하고 타카풀보험펀드를 투자하는 대리인 또는 운영자(operator)의 역할을 할 뿐이다. 타카풀보험은 전통적인 보험과 달리 보험운영 이익배당권, 임원선임권, 회계장부열람권이 부여된다. 따라서 국내기업이나 개인들은 리스크전가목적을 달성하는 한편 추가적인 혜택을 위하여 타카풀보험의 활용을 고려해야 한다.
