What is the ruling on working in the tax sector and the National Social Security Fund, and what is the basis for their prohibition?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The ruling on working in taxation depends on its type; some are permissible, and some are forbidden. As for working in the social security fund, its ruling depends on the basis of the fund's operation; if it relies on interest-based borrowing or stipulates a late fee, then it is not permissible to work in it because it falls under cooperating in sin. However, if it does not rely on a prohibited activity but deposits its funds in usurious banks, then there is no harm in working in it for tasks not related to usurious accounts.
