Question:
This is a woman from outside this country who says: Our government grants a monthly financial amount to the unemployed to help them find work, and this is for a period of one year. She says: I am a woman, and I do not have a job, so I have the right by law to this grant. Is it permissible for me, according to the Shari'ah, to benefit from it and take it?
Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with that, as long as the government has offered it and you are in need of it and the condition applies to you, take it, yes.
