Q: What is the fatwa regarding the money bequeathed from a provident fund. Can you only use the money you gave towards it and what do I do with the rest of the money?
A: If one had contributed money to the provident fund, then it is only permissible for one to take back the amount one had contributed. The extra amount is riba (interest) and should be given away to the poor in charity without the intention of receiving any reward. Similarly one should make taubah for getting involved in the sin of interest.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
