Funds earned after death : life insurance benefit, etc. : is life insurance benefit an inheritance or not ?

Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaikum I tried to follow you fatwa on whether the money received from life insurance is considered inheritance or not. I just want to make sure because many of us here (in the American University of Sharjah in the UAE) are required to divide the benefits by our HR department. If it is an inheritance then we have to find out the correct way to do it. If it is not inheritance then we will be free to determine such division. Best regards
