Those who suffered harm in Kuwait due to the war will be provided with assistance if they submit receipts and documents proving it. Is it permissible for them to take such

The questioner: ... They suffered losses in Iraq and Kuwait, but on the condition that they bring proof, such as a specific receipt or a specific authenticated document, for example, showing that they carried out certain repairs, such as a specific repair for something that broke down in a specific institution or company. This brother actually suffered many damages, but he has no documents. He asked, "Is it permissible for me to go, for example, to a place for planting, gathering, and sewing, or things of that sort, and take a receipt from them stating that they performed certain repairs worth such and such, when they did not actually repair anything for him or do that work, but the damages truly occurred to him in Kuwait, and these papers he will bring, as I explained, are not authentic? Is he entitled to do this, or is he not?"

The Shaykh: The issue is clear: it is forgery.

The questioner: Yes, it is not permissible for him.

The Shaykh: We say it is not permissible, but considering that America is the cause, it is permissible.

The questioner: It is permissible; she is not putting anything from her own pocket either.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner: She is not putting anything from her own pocket.

The questioner: It does not work. One should strive to maintain the congregation of the mosque.

The Shaykh : ... .

The questioner: Is that so, our Shaykh? One should strive to maintain the congregation of the mosque, even if the mosque is far away.

The Shaykh: Yes.
