Ruling on borrowing from the government and repaying it in installments from the salary
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
This is a message received from Hamad Faraj Hazaa from Al-Salibikhat, Kuwait. He says: I am about to retire from my job, and the government gives retired individuals a sum of six thousand dinars, which they collect from them, fifty dinars each month from the upcoming retirement salary, until this amount is repaid to them. Is this permissible or not?
Answer: We are not aware of any issue with this. This is a loan. If the state gives a person six thousand dollars or dinars and then takes it back from him in installments of fifty each month, we are not aware of any issue with this, provided there are no other prohibited matters involved. As for the mere fact that it gives its employee, when he is nearing retirement or some time before it, six thousand or less or more, on the condition that he repays this amount monthly, giving them fifty or less or more each month, we are not aware of any issue with this.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
