Inheritance and distribution of the estate
Life Insurance and Death Benefits in Islam
While life insurance itself is generally prohibited in Islam, the death benefits received by heirs can become permissible under specific circumstances. If the money is inherited, it is allowed for the heirs to accept and use it, provided that it is not prohibited in its essence, and it should be distributed among the heirs according to Shari`ah.47,363Her mother bequeathed some gold to her youngest brother, but she kept it with her.
