QUESTION: My landlord required me to get renter’s insurance even though it is haram I had a legal dispute with her on a separate issue and the court gave me more than I deserved since courts in the west don’t follow Shariah law Can I subtract the renter’s insurance cost from the amount the court gave me extra, and give the rest to the landlord? Or must I give her the full amount that was extra?

ANSWER:
If this insurance is mandatory upon you by law, you must get one from your own money.
Whatever the court gave you which you don’t deserve Islamically, you must return that which is not yours to her
