| Disclosure of statement of compliance [text block] | 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION(a) Statement of complianceThe interim condensed financial statements of the Company as at and for the period ended 30 September, 2020 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other standards and pronouncements issued by Saudi Organization for Certified Public Accountants (“SOCPA”)The interim condensed financial statements are prepared under the going concern basis and the historical cost convention, except for the measurement at fair value of available for sale investments and investment in associates which is accounted for under the equity method and end of service benefits based on actuarial valuation techniques. The Company’s interim condensed statement of financial position is not presented using a current/non-current classification. However, the following balances would generally be classified as non-current: statutory deposit, accrued income on statutory deposit, property and equipment, intangible assets, investment property, investments in associates, available for sale investments, end-of-service indemnities and return payable on statutory deposit. All other financial statement line items would generally be classified as current.The Company presents its statement of financial position in order of liquidity. As required by the Saudi Arabian Insurance Regulations, the Company maintains separate books of accounts for Insurance Operations and Shareholders’ Operations and presents the financial statements accordingly (Note 19). Assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses clearly attributable to either activity are recorded in the respective accounts. The basis of allocation of expenses from joint operations is determined and approved by the management and the Board of Directors.The interim statement of financial position, statement of income, comprehensive income and cash flows of the insurance operations and shareholders operations which are presented in Note 19 of the financial statement have been provided as supplementary financial information to comply with the requirements of the guidelines issued by SAMA implementing regulations and is not required under IFRSs. SAMA implementing regulations requires the clear segregation of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the insurance operations and the shareholders operations. Accordingly, the interim statements of financial position, statements of income, comprehensive income and cash flows prepared for the insurance operations and shareholders operations as referred to above, reflect only the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and comprehensive income or losses of the respective operations.In preparing the Company-level financial statement in compliance with IFRS, the balances and transactions of the insurance operations are amalgamated and combined with those of the shareholders’ operations. Inter-operation balances, transactions and unrealised gains or losses, if any, are eliminated in full during amalgamation. The accounting policies adopted for the insurance operations and shareholders’ operations are uniform for like transactions and events in similar circumstances.The interim condensed financial statements does not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statement as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019. This interim condensed financial statements are expressed in Saudi Arabian Riyals (SAR) and is rounded off to the nearest thousands. | 2 (a) |
| Disclosure of issued IFRS not yet adopted [text block] | 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION d) Standards issued but not yet effectiveThe following standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Company’s financial statements are disclosed below. The Company intends to adopt these standards when they become effective. Further, the Company has chosen not to early adopt the amendments and revisions to the International Financial Reporting Standards which have been published and are mandatory for compliance for the Company with effect from future dates.IFRS 9 - “Financial instruments”This standard was published on July 24, 2014 and has replaced IAS 39. The new standard addresses the following items related to financial instruments:Classification and measurement:IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income or at fair value through profit or loss. A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if both: the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding (“SPPI”).The financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and realized gains or losses are recycled through profit or loss upon sale, if both conditions are met: the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and for sale; and the contractual terms of cash flows are SPPI,Assets not meeting either of these categories are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Additionally, at initial recognition, an entity can use the option to designate a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch.For equity instruments that are not held for trading, an entity can also make an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value of the instruments (including realized gains and losses), dividends being recognized in profit or loss.Additionally, for financial liabilities that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss, the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is recognized in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss.ii) Impairment:The impairment model under IFRS 9 reflects expected credit losses, as opposed to incurred credit losses under IAS 39. Under the IFRS 9 approach, it is no longer necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognized. Instead, an entity always accounts for expected credit losses and changes in those expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.The amendments apply to all hedge accounting with the exception of portfolio fair value hedges of interest rate risk (commonly referred to as “fair value macro hedges”). For these, an entity may continue to apply the hedge accounting requirements currently in IAS 39. This exception was granted largely because the IASB is addressing macro hedge accounting as a separate project.iv) Effective dateThe published effective date of IFRS 9 was 1st January 2018. However, amendments to IFRS 4 – Insurance Contracts: Applying IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 – Insurance Contracts, published on 12th September 2016, changes the existing IFRS 4 to allow entities issuing insurance contracts within the scope of IFRS 4 to mitigate certain effects of applying IFRS 9 before the IASB’s new insurance contract standard (IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts) becomes effective. The amendments introduce two alternative options:- Apply a temporary exemption from implementing IFRS 9 until the earlier of: the effective date of a new insurance contract standard; or annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. On 17 March 2020, the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) decided to extend the effective date of IFRS 17 and the IFRS 9 temporary exemption in IFRS 4 from January 1, 2021 to January 1, 2023. . Additional disclosures related to financial assets are required during the deferral period. This option is only available to entities whose activities are predominately connected with insurance and have not applied IFRS 9 previously; or- Adopt IFRS 9 but, for designated financial assets, remove from profit or loss the effects of some of the accounting mismatches that may occur before the new insurance contract standard is implemented. During the interim period, additional disclosures are required.The Company has performed a detailed assessment beginning 1 January 2018: (1) The carrying amount of the Company’s liabilities arising from contracts within the scope of IFRS 4 (including deposit components or embedded derivatives unbundled from insurance contracts) were compared to the total carrying amount of all its liabilities; and (2) the total carrying amount of the company’s liabilities connected with insurance were compared to the total carrying amount of all its liabilities. Based on these assessments the Company determined that it is eligible for the temporary exemption. Consequently, the Company has decided to defer the implementation of IFRS 9 until the effective date of the new insurance contracts standard. Disclosures related to financial assets required during the deferral period are included in the Company’s financial statements.IFRS 17 - “Insurance Contracts”, the effective date of IFRS 17 and the deferral of the IFRS 9 temporary exemption in IFRS 4, is currently 1 January 2023, and will supersede IFRS 4 “Insurance Contracts”. Earlier adoption permitted if both IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” have also been applied. The Company expects a material impact on measurement and disclosure of insurance and reinsurance that will affect both the statement of income and the statement of financial position. The Company has decided not to early adopt this new standard. | 2 (d) |
| Disclosure of critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions, general [text block] | 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION(b) Critical accounting judgments, estimates and assumptionsThe preparation of the interim condensed financial statements requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates and judgments are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.In preparing this interim condensed financial statements, the significant judgments made by the management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019. However, the Company has reviewed the key sources of estimation uncertainties disclosed in the last annual financial statements against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic. Management will continue to assess the situation and reflect any required changes in future reporting periods.Company will ultimately pay for such claims. Estimates are made at the end of the reporting period both for the expected ultimate cost of claim reported and for the expected ultimate costs of claims incurred but not reported (“IBNR”). Liabilities for unpaid reported claims are estimated using the input of assessments for individual cases reported to the Company. At the end of each reporting period, prior year claims estimates are reassessed for adequacy and changes are made to the provision.The provision for claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) is an estimation of claims which are expected to be reported subsequent to the date of statement of financial position, for which the insured event has occurred prior to the date of statement of financial position. The primary technique adopted by management in estimating the cost of notified and IBNR claims, is that of using the past claims settlement trends to predict future claims settlement trends. A range of methods such as Chain Ladder Method, Bornhuetter-Ferguson Method and Expected Loss Ratio Method are used by the actuaries to determine these provisions. Actuary had also used a segmentation approach including analysing cost per member per year for medical line of business. Underlying these methods are a number of explicit or implicit assumptions relating to the expected settlement amount and settlement patterns of claims.ii) Impairment of available-for-sale financial assetsThe Company determines that available-for-sale financial assets are impaired when there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the available-for-sale financial assets below its cost. The determination of what is significant or prolonged requires judgment. For equity and mutual funds, a period of 12 months or longer is considered to be prolonged and a decline of 30% from original cost is considered significant as per Company policy. In making this judgment, the Company also evaluates among other factors, the normal volatility in share price, the financial health of the investee, industry and sector performance, changes in technology, and operational and financing cash flows. The Company reviews its debt securities classified as available for sale at each reporting date to assess whether they are impaired.iii) Impairment of receivablesA provision for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganization, and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the receivable is impaired.iv) Fair value of financial instrumentsFair values of available-for-sale investments are based on quoted prices for marketable securities or estimated fair values. The fair value of commission-bearing items is estimated based on discounted cash flows using commission for items with similar terms and risk characteristics.The fair value of financial instruments where no active market exists or where quoted prices are not otherwise available are determined by using valuation techniques. In these cases the fair values are estimated from observable data in respect of similar financial instruments or using models. Where market observable inputs are not available, they are estimated based on appropriate assumptions. Where valuation techniques (for example, models) are used to determine fair values, they are validated and periodically reviewed. All models are calibrated to ensure that outputs reflect actual data and comparative market prices. To the extent practical, models use only observable data; however, areas such as credit risk (both own credit risk and counterparty risk), volatilities and correlations require management to make estimates. Please refer fair value of financial instruments disclosure in note 14. In response to the spread of the Covid-19 virus in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia including the GCC region, where the Company operates and its consequential disruption to the social and economic activities in those markets, the Company’s management has proactively assessed its impacts on its operations and has taken a series of proactive and preventative measures and processes to ensure:- the health and safety of its employees and the wider community where it is operating- the continuity of its business throughout the Kingdom is protected and kept intact. The major impact of Covid-19 pandemic is seen in medical and motor line of business as explained below. As with any estimate, the projections and likelihoods of occurrence are underpinned by significant judgment and rapidly evolving situation and uncertainties surrounding the duration and severity of the pandemic, and therefore, the actual outcomes may be different to those projected. The impact of such uncertain economic environment is judgmental, and the Company will continue to reassess its position and the related impact on a regular basis.Medical technical reservesBased on the management’s assessment, the management believes that the Government’s decision to assume the medical treatment costs for both Saudi citizens and expatriates has helped in reducing any unfavourable impact. During the lockdown, the Company saw a decline in medical reported claims (majorly elective and non-chronic treatment claims) which resulted in a drop in claimsexperience. However, subsequent to the lifting of lockdown since June 21, 2020, the Company is experiencing a surge in claims which is in line with the expectations of the Company’s management. The Company’s management has duly considered the impact of surge in claims in the current estimate of future contractual cashflows of the insurance contracts in force as at September 30, 2020 for its liability adequacy test. Based on the results, the Company has booked an amount of SR 144.7 million (December 31, 2019: Nil ; March 31, 2020: Nil) as a premium deficiency reserve.Motor technical reservesIn response to the Covid-19 pandemic, SAMA issued a circular 189 (the “circular”) dated 08 May 2020 to all insurance companies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Amongst other things, the circular instructed insurance companies to extend the period of validity of all existing retail motor insurance policies by further two months as well as providing a two-month additional coverage for all new retail motor policies written within one month of this circular.The Management, in conjunction with its appointed actuary, deliberated on a variety of internal factors and concluded, that the Company considers the extension of two months in exiting motor policies as new policy and record a premium deficiency reserve, if any based on the expected claims for the extended 2 months period. The Company’s actuary has performed a liability adequacy test using current estimates of future cash flows under its insurance contracts at a segmented level for motor line of business and no additional liability recorded as premium deficiency reserve as at September 30, 2020.For new policies written as per above circular, the premium is earned over the period of coverage i.e 14 month as per the Company accounting policy. There is no significant impact of two month extension in earned premium as of June and September 30, 2020 as no material amounts of premium have been written during the one month period.Other financial assetsTo cater for any potential impacts, the Covid-19 pandemic may have had on the financial assets of the Company, the Company has performed an assessment in accordance with its accounting policy, to determine whether there is an objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets has been impaired. For debt financial assets, these include factors such as, significant financial difficulties of issuers or debtors, default or delinquency in payments, probability that the issuer or debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization, etc. In case of equities classified under available-for-sale, the Company has performed an assessment to determine whether there is a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of financial assets below their cost. Based on these assessments, the Company’s management believes that the Covid-19 pandemic has had no material effects on Company’s reported results for the three and nine-month periods ended 30 September 2020. The Company’s management continues to monitor the situation closely. | 2 (b) |

| Disclosure of summary of significant accounting policies, general comment [text block] | 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (c) Significant accounting policiesThe accounting and risk management policies adopted in the preparation of these condensed interim financial statements are consistent with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, except for the adoption of the amendments to existing standards which has had no material impact on the financial statements of the Company and investment in subsidiary (note 1) as follows.SubsidiariesSubsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if, and only if, the Group has: Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee) Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returnsThe financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition or incorporation, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies.Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights result in control. To support this presumption and when the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including: The contractual arrangement(s) with the other vote holders of the investee Rights arising from other contractual arrangements The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rightsThe Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. Non-controlling interests (NCI)NCI are measured at their proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition.Loss of controlWhen the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related NCI and other components of equity. Any resulting gain or loss is recognized in consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost. A change in ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses and cash flows relating to transactions arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. | 2 (c) |
| Description of accounting policy for segment reporting [text block] | 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (e) Segmental reportingA segment is a distinguishable component of the Company that is engaged in providing products or services (a business segment), which is subject to risk and rewards that are different from those of other segments. For management purposes, the Company is organized into business units based on their products and services and has eight reportable segments as follows: Medical - coverage for health insurance. Medical Umrah - coverage for health insurance for pilgrims. Motor insurance. Manafeth - third party liability insurance for foreign vehicles and the profit of this segment is shared with other insurance companies. Property and Casualty - coverage for property, engineering, marine, aviation, energy and general accidents insurance. General accidents insurance - coverage for pilgrims. Protection & Savings. Shareholders’ segment - reporting shareholder operations of the Company. Income earned from investments is the only revenue generating activity. Certain direct operating expenses and other overhead expenses are allocated to this segment on an appropriate basis. The surplus or loss from the insurance operations is allocated to this segment on an appropriate basis.Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the chief executive officer that makes strategic decisions. No inter-segment transactions occurred during the period. | 2 (e) |

The management and its appointed actuary have made a detailed assessment of technical reserves and the various parameters in the valuation of technical liabilities. As at September 30, 2020, based on the recommendations of its appointed actuary, management has recorded technical reserves (Gross outstanding claims and reserves including premium deficiency reserves) amounted to SAR 4.1 billion (December 31, 2019: SAR 5.6 billion).

FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSFair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or the most advantageous) market between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. The fair values of recognised financial instruments are not significantly different from the carrying values included in the financial statements. The estimated fair values of financial instruments are based on quoted market prices, when available. Determination of fair value and fair value hierarchyThe Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments: - Level 1: quoted market price: financial instruments with quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets. - Level 2: quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities or other valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are based on observable market data.- Level 3: valuation techniques for which any significant input is not based on observable market data. The fair values of bank balances, cash and other financial assets in statement of financial position which are carried at amortized cost, are not significantly different from the carrying values included in the financial statements due to the short term nature of balances.
