The answer

Participation in the aforementioned fund is not permissible because it invests in interest-based banks, and because commercial insurance is prohibited. It is permissible to reclaim the principal capital, based on the Almighty's saying: (But if you repent, you may have your principal - [thus] you do no wrong, nor are you wronged). As for what the company added, if it is a general gift to every employee, then it is permissible to take it; otherwise, it is not. It is not permissible to benefit from prohibited interest, even for paying taxes. Rather, one must dispose of it by spending it on charitable causes.
