What is the ruling on increasing the retirement salary with a fictitious increase to the salary for the last two years?
The ruling on social security or retirement pensions has been previously discussed. The permissible form is when the entity belongs to state institutions, while the prohibited form is when it is a private institution. If the state is the one paying the retirement pension, then there is no harm in benefiting from it, provided there is truthfulness and honesty in fulfilling the conditions. However, lying and deception to obtain it for someone who does not deserve it, or to increase its value for someone who deserves less, is not permissible. Therefore, fictitious work to increase the value of the retirement pension is not allowed.
