The questioner:
A questioner says: May Allah reward you. We are scholarship students at Imam Muhammad ibn Saud University. The university pays for a ticket for us every year so that we can return to our home country during the vacation. Some of the brother students book the most expensive ticket so that they can benefit from its value to buy tickets for their families. Is this permissible?
The Shaykh:
And some of the students.

This has a system at the university; they do not spend money for nothing, they spend a specific, recognized amount for you.
