Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : From the remaining members of the company?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : What do you mean by the remaining members of the company?
The questioner : Every employee in this company pays a certain amount each month, which they call social insurance, so that if he is struck by a calamity or something similar, such as illness, they determine a salary for him because he is unable to continue working with them, like retirement.
The Shaykh : Fine. Do I understand from your words that if a person works for years...
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And he was not struck by a calamity, and he paid the amount mentioned above, he did not benefit from the amount?
The questioner : His fate is that he will be retired after sixty years.
The Shaykh : What is the difference between him and the one who was struck by a calamity, as you said?
The questioner : That one was hastened by illness, and that one continued in his youth until sixty years.
The Shaykh : My question, my brother, in terms of the deduction, what is the difference between this one who was struck by a calamity and the one who was not struck by a calamity? Throughout the years of work, what is the difference in the result?
The questioner : By Allah, I do not know, our Shaykh, what you intend?
The Shaykh : My brother, I worked with you in the company for ten years, and they deducted a certain percentage from our salary, like for me and like for you, do you understand up to here?
