Is it permissible, in Islamic law, to violate labor laws enacted by the state, especially those that protect the rights of individuals, and to evade social security contributions? Is the state not a legitimate guardian whose laws must be adhered to? Is an employee entitled to take the social security amount deducted from their salary but not remitted? Does the failure to provide insurance result in moral harm that necessitates guidance?

Disputes cannot be settled by remote inquiry or by hearing only one party. Rather, they must be referred to Sharia (definition) courts or competent authorities, or by direct consultation with scholars. The employer is bound by what he contracted with the employee, for the contract is the law between the contracting parties, and custom is to be applied if not explicitly stated otherwise in the contract. There is no objection to dealing with laws and regulations that do not contradict Sharia.
