The divorced woman who returns to her husband and social security

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman was divorced by her husband and registered for social security. After a period, she returned to her husband during the waiting period. It is known that the divorce certificate is with her, and she has gone back to the authorities with it, and she is still receiving the social security benefit as a divorced woman. Her question is: Is it permissible for her to take this money?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible. This is forbidden. She is under the husband’s care, and the husband provides for her, and the reason for which she was receiving the security benefit has ceased.
