Is it permissible to lease a shop affiliated with the mosque to an insurance company?

Renting the shop to an insurance company depends on the type of insurance. If it is commercial insurance, which is usually the case, then it is not permissible to rent it out, because it is assisting in sin and aggression, and this is what the noble verse states: (And do not cooperate in sin and aggression). And it is forbidden to rent out anything that is used for unlawful purposes, such as selling alcohol. However, if the company's insurance is cooperative, then there is no harm in renting the shop to it.
