The answer

Insurance is of two types: cooperative, which is permissible, and commercial, which is forbidden. One of the differences between them is that the surplus from the policyholders' funds in commercial insurance is taken by the company, whereas in cooperative insurance, the surplus is returned to the fund or invested for the benefit of the policyholders.
