The answer

Life insurance is a void contract due to the presence of (excessive uncertainty) and the unlawful appropriation of people's wealth. It must be annulled, and each party should receive back what they paid. The heirs inherit only the premiums paid by the deceased. As for the remaining amount, it must be returned to the insurance company. If the company donates it, then it is permissible to take it; otherwise, it is not.
