The answer

Insurance policies that offer an insurance sum with annual profits: if it is commercial insurance, then the profits and the insurance sum are unlawful money. The insured is only entitled to the installments he paid. The unlawful money should be spent on charitable causes and general Muslim welfare. Its owner is not permitted to benefit from it for his private needs. However, if it is cooperative insurance, then it is permissible, and its profits are also permissible, and its owner may dispose of them as he wishes.
