Question Summary:
Company investing in a pension scheme

Question Detail:

 
My father worked in a company for 20 years. A percentage of his wages each month went towards a pension scheme. The company matched my father's contribution. For example if my father gave 3% the company would match that and also contribute 3%. This scheme was optional. If someone was not part of the scheme then the company did not make any contributions.
My father has now retired and receives a pension. Is this pension permissible or impermissible.

Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Our understanding of your query is that 3% of the money will be invested by the company and 3% will be deducted from your salary for the pension scheme investment. In order for us to advise you, inform us where will the money be invested?
