The answer

It is permissible to benefit from the pension provided by the state due to incapacity to work, because the European Council for Fatwa and Research has issued a fatwa permitting commercial insurance in cases of legal compulsion and cases of need to avert severe hardship and difficulty, such as third-party insurance, social security, health insurance, and other forms of property and institutional insurance to avoid risks and exorbitant costs. This applies to the aforementioned pension.
