The ruling on taking two allowances in addition to social security
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He asks: Is it a sin for a person who is unemployed, has no income, and is eligible for social security and another sum of money called the 'aadah (allowance), to take both the 'aadah and the social security, given that he is in need of it and has no other income?
Answer:
This depends on the government's regulations. If the government's system allows a person to receive social security and an annual allowance, then there is nothing wrong with it. However, if the state's system does not allow this, but he conceals the matter, then it is not permissible for him to do so; he must disclose it. Yes.
