Is leasing permissible ? : leasing and 401k retirement program

Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh. I have two questions to ask you about with respect to Islamic financing. The first question pertains to leasing contracts. Is it permissible in Islam to sign a leasing contract for a car (new or used) ? If there is a percentage of profit in the leasing contract or not, does that make any difference ? The second question is with respect to retirement benefits. There is a retirement plan called the 401K which takes a monthly deductible and collects it until retirement. Is this permissible in Islam ? I thank you in advance and Jazakallahu Khair.
