Working for an insurance company

Q: We are agents for an insurance company in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The company insures accidents and fires and practices all types of insurance, including life insurance. We receive an annual commission of the income of the institution's agency in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We would like that Your Eminence gives us a fatwa, may Allah reward you, regarding whether this commission is Halal (lawful) or Haram (prohibited). May Allah make all of us among those whose life is prolonged and did good deeds!

A: The insurance mentioned above falls under the category of commercial insurance, which is prohibited. The company's agents are included under the general purport of this ruling. Thus, it is not permissible for them to either work for this company or receive a commission. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
