The answer

It is forbidden to participate in the optional retirement scheme if it involves depositing money in a bank in exchange for interest (riba). It is also impermissible to take the profits resulting from it. Furthermore, there is another concern if the scheme is affiliated with a private company, which is the presence of excessive (uncertainty/deception), in addition to the company benefiting from the scheme, which removes it from being based on cooperation and mutual support.
