Abstract

As an independent contract, the life insurance contract is subject to the general rules of contracts and is free from jurisprudential and legal obstacles. Shia jurists have accepted the life insurance contract as a legitimate and independent contract due to the general inclusion of proofs of the validity of the contracts and the fact that the contracts are not limited to specific formats and also free from jurisprudential obstacles such as usury, gambling, gharar and suspension, although they believe that this The contract can be concluded in the form of these contracts due to the compliance with some specific contracts, such as peace, gift in compensation and mudarabah. In this article, in order to analyze the juridical and legal nature of the life insurance contract, this contract has been compared with certain similar contracts and the independence of this contract as a valid and permissible contract has been examined.
