It is permissible to subscribe to social security on condition that its funds are not deposited in usurious banks except out of necessity and only in a current account, provided there are no Islamic banks available, and that these funds are not invested in prohibited or suspicious areas, and that one adheres to their rights and obligations according to Islamic Sharia. It is permissible to subscribe to insurance that contains a Sharia-prohibited element if it is compulsory and abstaining from it would lead to harm, with the obligation to dispose of the proportion of unlawful money when receiving the right.
