The answer

It is not permissible to form a company in the manner described, due to the presence of gharar (ambiguity/uncertainty) and jahalah (ignorance) within it, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade sales involving gharar. The contract mentioned contains jahalah due to its combination of life insurance and risk insurance, along with the commitment to an unspecified profit that increases with the increase of the amount and the length of the period, which invalidates the contract. Joining them is not permissible due to their combination of life and health insurance and the commitment to a profit in exchange for what is paid to them.
