Taking the allowance by deceiving the system
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 17815 )
Q: I receive a monthly allowance of (600) riyals from the school where I teach. One of the conditions for this allowance is that the student lives fifteen kilometers away from the school. I was receiving the allowance while living more than fifteen kilometers from the school, as Allah knows. Then I moved closer to the school, living three kilometers away, as Allah knows. I am in great need of this allowance, as I use it for my food and drink, and I travel to this school by car. Is it permissible for me to take this allowance?
A: If your situation contradicts the system established for paying the allowance, then it is not lawful for you to take it. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): , and because this kind of deception is not permissible. May Allah guide us all. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his companions.
