Provident fund from the government
Question
I live in Pakistan and my father is a govt servent. He is about to retire and at retirement the govt gives alot of money as provident fund. This money is actually a combination of 3 things.
1. It cuts from monthly salary for over 25 years.
2. Each month govt adds some amount to this monthly.
3. Bank adds up interest and that I also added to the amount
At retirenment all these amounts add up and given to the employee. So is it halal to do hajj with this money?
Answer
In principle, this money is coming from the government. You are not answerable for what they are doing.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
