What kind of thing is life insurance?

All forms of insurance are haraam on account of the elements of gambling and interest being found in it.

Ask Mufti Online

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
