Ruling on registering for social security for one who is not in need

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The question also asks: Is it permissible to receive social security for one who is not in need of it?
Answer: What we know is that the government, may Allah guide them, established social security for the poor. Therefore, one who does not meet the conditions is not entitled to receive social security, and it is not permissible for him to lie. Only one who qualifies for it, in whom the required conditions are met, may receive it. As for one who lies and claims to be poor, or claims to be unmarried when she is married, or the like of that, he is not entitled to receive it.
So the conclusion is: It is not permissible to receive social security except for one in whom the conditions set by the state are met. This is what is obligatory for him. It is obligatory for the believer to fear Allah and to be wary of taking something that is not lawful for him. May Allah help us.
