The answer

Participation in the aforementioned savings scheme is impermissible because both the principal and the profit are guaranteed, making it a usurious loan. If the company compels its employees to participate, then working for it is not permissible unless out of necessity. In such a case, the employee should only take back their principal, which was deducted from their salary, and dispose of the usurious profit by spending it on public welfare.
