The answer

Working in cooperative insurance companies is permissible, and its doer will be rewarded if his intention is sound. However, working in commercial insurance companies is not permissible, as it falls under cooperation in sin and aggression. As for performing Hajj with unlawfully acquired money, it is valid and fulfills the obligation according to the majority of scholars, though the doer incurs sin.
