What is the criterion for receiving from Social Affairs?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Please, Sister Umm Sultan from Riyadh, keep your question brief, if you please. May Allah keep you safe. I am at your service. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Okay, if you please, I have two brief questions, as concise as possible. Please go ahead. The first question: I was registered with Social Affairs for about twenty years. You know, the old system used to have an annual investigation. We did the investigation at the beginning of the year, and then they came back after several months. In the meantime, between when I went to Social Affairs and when the investigation was done, I got married. I only received the payment once. The second time, I submitted the documents and withdrew from Social Affairs, and they went to check on my children. Do I owe anything for this, or not? I know how much I was entitled to, but I am not sure of the exact amount. Okay, and the second question. About twenty years ago, a landline telephone was installed in my house under my name. Yes, and knowing that I cannot even walk, I went to the telephone office three times. Yes. I brought the papers and signed them to have it cancelled for me, because I am done with this telephone; my service has ended and I no longer benefit from it. I moved my belongings and no longer want it. I want you to cancel it so I can pay the amount on the bill. I mean, I cannot pay it all at once. Okay. Now, there is the employee. And the question, and the question, and the question, O Umm Sultan. I do not know if it was a mistake, or whatever, but that is not my question. I went to him three times and signed this thing. When I took the bills, he charged me once, then another time. Thank you. Honorable Shaykh, regarding those who apply to Social Affairs, what is the criterion for that? And do the children, for example, after their mother, receive this Social Affairs benefit if they are self-sufficient?

Answer:
Sister, Social Affairs has a system. The system is reviewed, and whatever contradicts the system is not permissible. It is not permissible except in accordance with the system of Social Affairs, which is a system of the state and of the one in authority. Therefore, it is not permissible to deceive it, nor is it permissible to violate the system in this matter. Likewise, the telephone has a system, so it proceeds according to the telephone system. Yes.
