Question

Slmz, Is a person allowed to collect pension from the government?

✓

Answer

Wa’alaykum as Salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,

Yes, one is allowed to collect pension from the government, as this payment is considered to be a favour from the government to its aged citizens especially those who have contributed taxes to the government over the years.

And Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala knows best.
