The questioner and his family must seek forgiveness and repent from lying and deception. It is not permissible for the questioner to take money from the insurance company unless he states the full truth about who was driving the car, to enable the company to recover the money from the perpetrator. If he cannot clarify the truth, he should not take the money, even if he intends to donate it as charity; because it would be consuming wealth unlawfully.
