Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I requested, in my name and the names of my children, what is commonly called the royal grant from His Majesty the King, may Allah support him. I also included the names of a group of people in my request, knowing that their circumstances are dire and in need of assistance, including orphans. What is the ruling on this? Is there any sin on me for doing so?
Answer:
There is no harm, if you are truthful, there is no harm. If you are truthful, there is no harm. If you requested from the one in authority that you and your children be given what is given from the annual public treasury, or that you interceded for people whose condition you know and who are in need, there is no harm. The public treasury is for all Muslims. Yes.
