The insurance paid by the tenant is considered a pledge for the debt owed by him (the rent of the dwelling). The mortgagee is not permitted to dispose of the pledge except with the permission of the mortgagor. If he disposes of it without permission, he commits a sin and is obligated to return the money along with any profits accrued therefrom.
