The answer

Social Security (ضمان اجتماعي) includes permissible and prohibited aspects, and it is not permissible to voluntarily participate in what is prohibited. As for what occurred in the past and was obligatory, it is permissible to benefit from it to the extent of what was paid. The remainder should be spent on charitable causes or given to the poor according to their needs.
