The answer

Cooperative Takaful insurance is permissible, but commercial insurance based on gharar (uncertainty), gambling, and maysir (games of chance) is forbidden, except for the compelled, who is not allowed to take more than what he paid. Cooperative societies established to assist those affected are permissible if they are free from prohibitions, such as depositing money in usurious banks.
