Working in a commercial insurance company and taking from the son's salary

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: My son works in a commercial insurance company. Is his salary lawful or forbidden? And if he gives me something from this salary, am I allowed to take it?

Answer:
He should leave this job, as there are many jobs and many positions.
And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out (3) And will provide for him from where he does not expect.وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مَخْرَجًا وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ
[At-Talaq 65:2-3]
And whatever he gives you that does not contradict [the ruling], take it. Yes.
