Is it permissible for a migrant to deceive the state to obtain official documents in the country where he has settled?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, as for us as migrants in this country, you can become like the locals; you can own a shop, license it in your name, license a house in your name, and these matters are made easy for you.
The Shaykh : And where?
The questioner : In this country, it means you must enter the country with 50,000 dollars, bringing them from another country to the bank in Jordan, even if only for a short time, and they are transferred in Jordan so you can withdraw them. This makes it so that you can obtain any license, rent any shop, or do anything. So, no one among the Egyptians, for example, would leave this amount, or it would not have come out of his house in the first place. So he looks at his situation, or he looks at people who do this "double" for him; they transfer the amount for him and bring it, and they take a fee for this. They take, for example, one thousand dinars for this transaction, this game they play. They bring him a document from the bank that he deposited this amount into the bank.
The Shaykh : It is all forgery.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : It is all forgery.
The questioner : It is not permissible.
The Shaykh : Of course, it is not permissible.
The questioner : It is not permissible.
Another questioner : But this decision is that he is not allowed to own or get a license or such unless he must have an amount of 50,000 dollars, meaning he must deposit it. Is this decision, I mean, religiously valid?
The Shaykh : Where do you live? Where do you live? This is the first decision that is not permissible. May Allah guide you.
The questioner : I am just asking, I mean.
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you. Ask about something that is hidden from you, or is it not permissible to ask the Jews who are colonizers and occupiers, or do they have a right to reside in Palestine?
The Shaykh : And where?
The questioner : In this country, it means you must enter the country with 50,000 dollars, bringing them from another country to the bank in Jordan, even if only for a short time, and they are transferred in Jordan so you can withdraw them.
