The answer

Commercial insurance is Islamically forbidden (haram) due to its inclusion of uncertainty (gharar), gambling (qimar), and the unlawful consumption of people's wealth. Working for insurance companies is forbidden, and the money earned from it is illicit (suht). If a worker has another lawful source of income, then it is permissible to eat from his wealth and deal with him regarding it. However, if he has no other income besides that acquired from his forbidden work, then it is not permissible to deal with him concerning that money.
