The answer

Insurance is divided into two types: permissible, which is cooperative takaful insurance, and forbidden, which is commercial insurance. It is permissible to subscribe to cooperative takaful insurance for health and similar matters, provided its conditions are met and there is no deception. As for the forbidden commercial insurance, it is not permissible to subscribe to it voluntarily. However, for those who are forced or ignorant, it is permissible to claim what they contributed without any increase.
