Is the pension received by someone who worked previously in a company that produces and markets tobacco and matches permissible?
Working for tobacco marketing companies has been previously forbidden. The pension from the National Pension Fund is subject to the same ruling as the original salary because it is an integral part of it and was acquired through work. If you were unaware of the religious ruling while working in tobacco marketing and then repented, the salary is permissible for you, as Allah Almighty says: "So whoever receives an admonition from his Lord and desists, he may have what has already passed, and his affair is left to Allah." However, if you were aware of its prohibition, it is not permissible for you, and you must offer sincere repentance, seek forgiveness, and perform righteous deeds.
