Taking an incentive allowance for one who has no desire to work

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe. I have a question regarding the hardship allowance for difficulty in finding jobs. Is it permissible for a person to receive the allowance even though he has no desire to work?

The Shaykh:
By Allah, my brother, this is a matter of the regulation. If the regulation applies to him, he is allowed to take the hardship allowance. If the regulation does not apply to him, it is forbidden for him to take it. Yes.

The questioner:
The system applies to a training program for job qualification. The person has no desire; he says, "I have no desire to work."

Another questioner:
He is about fifty years old.

The questioner:
It applies to him.

The Shaykh:
He responds to it today.

The questioner:
Even if I get the job, I will not work.

The Shaykh:
My brother, my brother, if the regulation does not apply to him, it is not permissible for him.

The questioner:
May Allah prolong your life, O Shaykh.

The presenter:
Thank you, may Allah keep you safe.
