No, selling commercial life insurance is haram due to its involvement with interest (riba) and gambling (qimar), which are prohibited in Islam. However, some scholars consider Islamic insurance (takaful) permissible as it adheres to Sharia principles, involving the pooling and investment of funds in compliance with Islamic law.
And Allah knows best.
