This type of social security involves usury (riba), uncertainty (), and harm (darar). The state collects installments from employees and invests them in interest-bearing loans, then pays out the profits. If participation is optional, do not register your name. However, if it is compulsory and there is a necessity, then benefit only from the amount that was deducted from you, and give the rest in charity.
