The answer

Commercial life insurance is a commutative contract based on ambiguity (gharar) and gambling, thus it is impermissible to voluntarily participate in it. This differs from cooperative (takaful) insurance, which is permissible to participate in, as it is based on cooperation and risk diversification, and does not aim for profit. The amount paid by the participant in it is considered a donation.
