Insurance is of two types: cooperative, which is permissible, and commercial, which is prohibited.
Dealing with commercial insurance companies is not permissible because it involves cooperation in sin and aggression. Selling medicines to commercial insurance companies is not permissible, because the seller knows that the company uses them to facilitate impermissible contracts and acquire money unlawfully.
