Question

My question is regarding life insurance for about $300,000 in my name, after I die this money will go to my wife and child and they can buy a house and live a comfortable life. Please advise me on this?

Answer

Insurance contains the elements of usury and gambling.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
