Cooperative Insurance: It is not permissible to deceive it, and its conditions must be adhered to. What is taken by deception is unlawful and must be returned.

Commercial Insurance: It is permissible to take only what was paid, and it is not permissible to take more than that because it is a void contract. It is not permissible to subscribe to it voluntarily. However, it is permissible to resort to deception to obtain a right if it cannot be obtained through legitimate means.

Employee requesting money in exchange for contracting: It is not permissible if concluding the contract is his job. It is permissible if he exerted effort as an intermediary.
