The answer

If the insurance company is an Islamic solidarity (takaful) company, it is not permissible to defraud it or violate the terms of the contract. It is obligatory to bear the agreed-upon percentage of the maintenance cost. However, if the insurance company is a commercial one based on (uncertainty) and gambling, then contracting with it is impermissible and one must repent from it. In this case, it is not permissible to take from the amount except for the actual premiums paid.
