Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: He is a blind employee with a salary of one thousand three hundred riyals. He has housing provided by his job as long as he remains employed, and his family is small. He has rented out half of the housing, and he has no debts. Is it permissible for him to take something from social security?
Answer:
Social security has conditions. They do not give it to anyone automatically unless the conditions apply to him. They send a committee to investigate the matter. It is not given automatically if he requests it. If the conditions apply to him, then there is no harm.
