Receiving the salary of a deceased son

Question:
Another person says: After the questions related to this topic were finished, he said: I had a young son who was paid a monthly salary. He passed away three years ago, and I am still receiving the amount paid in his name to this day. We hope for guidance: Is it permissible for me to receive it in his name, or not? It should be noted that I am an elderly man, I have a family to support, and I am in dire need of this salary.

Answer:
He says: If the state or the one who arranged the salary has permitted it, and it is for the heirs who come after him, then there is no harm. Otherwise, you must clarify that he has died and request permission. If they do not permit it, you have no right to it, and it is not lawful for you. However, if they have permitted it and said that his salary is to go to his heirs, then there is no harm; it belongs to the heirs. As for concealing it from them, saying that he is still alive, and receiving it—no, that is not permissible.
