Taking a HAFIZ incentive without working
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We are receiving a call from Mut'ib from Bisha. Go ahead, Mut'ib. Peace be upon you. And upon you, peace. Shaykh, regarding HAFIZ, the government has established HAFIZ as a work registration. What is the ruling on a person who takes the money without the intention of working, taking it while he is sleeping? Is it lawful or forbidden? Okay, thank you.
Answer:
My brother, this is according to the regulations, according to the state's regulations. If the regulations apply to him, then he is entitled to receive this money under the regulations. However, if the regulations do not apply to him, and he is instead deceiving the system and lying, then this is forbidden and not permissible. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:188] among you by falsehood [An-Nisa 4:29] Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
