Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I am an employee at the SABIC company, and they deduct a portion of my salary monthly. At the end of the year, there is interest on this deduction, and the deduction is called savings. His question is: Is it permissible for me to take this interest?
Answer:
No. Just my opinion. I have issued my ruling. You must take it; take only your principal, which they deducted from you, and take that, but as for the interest, it is not permissible.
