What is the ruling on the savings plan in Saudi Aramco, according to which the company grants a bonus to the employee upon retirement or leaving work, knowing that there are conflicting fatwas concerning it?

The savings system implemented in Aramco is forbidden (haram) because it is a loan that draws a benefit, as it guarantees the principal with a specified increase, resembling an interest-bearing loan. Prominent scholars have issued fatwas prohibiting this system, including the Permanent Committee for Issuing Fatwas and Sheikh Muhammad ibn Uthaymeen. In cases of scholarly disagreement, the common Muslim should follow the opinion of the most knowledgeable and trustworthy scholar.
