Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: He says: I registered for the benefit program and they paid me a monthly salary, and then they told me that I am not qualified because I am a university student, so I am not entitled to it. His question is: Is what I received in the first month lawful for me, or am I required to return it?
Answer:
Return it to them, return it to the ones who paid it to you, since you are not entitled to it. Yes.
