This questioner asks: What is the ruling on the social security deduction from the monthly salary?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it, provided it does not involve riba (usury or interest). The government deducts it and saves it for you, then adds to it from its own funds and gives it to you as a pension. This falls under the category of assistance, and there is nothing wrong with that, except if it is invested through riba, in which case it is not permissible.
