Is it permissible for an employee who resigns before the legal age to stop paying social insurance contributions and not receive the pension after sixty, or must he continue to pay and then collect it?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Insurance in the aforementioned entity is forbidden if it is voluntary, due to the investment of policyholders' funds in usurious banks. However, if it is compulsory, it is permissible, provided that the insured takes no more than the amount he paid or disposes of any excess amount for the benefit of Muslims. Based on this, it is not permissible to continue with the insurance if it was voluntary for someone who resigned before retirement age. Payments must be stopped, and no more than what was paid to the company should be taken. If he cannot obtain his right except by completing the installments until the age of sixty, there is no objection to that, with the obligation to dispose of the excess money.
