It is impermissible to deposit money and invest it in usurious banks because their transactions do not adhere to the rulings of Islamic law. Whoever needs to invest their money should do so in an Islamic bank whose transactions conform to the regulations of Islamic law. As for commercial life insurance, it is impermissible, whether it is in a usurious bank or elsewhere, and whether it is related to money investment or not. However, cooperative insurance is permissible.
