The answer

Working in commercial insurance companies is forbidden because it involves cooperation in sin and transgression. However, working as a guard for a property or a market that contains an insurance company appears to be permissible, because the insurance company here is subsidiary, and what is overlooked in a subsidiary is not overlooked in others. It does not matter that a part of the salary comes from the insurance company's money, for the guard's salary is in return for his permissible work.
