The answer

"There is no harm in taking what has been deducted from his salary. However, it is impermissible to take the usurious increase. Rather, it should be withdrawn and spent on Muslim welfare or given to the poor and needy. A poor person in need may take from it what suffices his need. The subscription contract with the fund must be terminated if it is still ongoing, because it is prohibited."
