The question

What should employees who are subscribers to social security and have repented or left their jobs for reasons beyond their control do if they continue to pay social security to avoid losing what they previously paid and to eliminate the forbidden increase in the end, while refraining from payment would cause them to lose what they have paid?

The answer

It is permissible for the subscriber to continue with social security if the amount paid was large and they found no way to recover it except by continuing, provided that the prohibited excess is disposed of upon receiving the social security payment. This opinion is based on the principle of committing the lesser of two harms to ward off the greater, which is similar to what jurists have permitted regarding depositing money in an interest-bearing bank or paying a bribe to safeguard money if its loss is feared.
