(Part No. 23; Page No. 412)
Fatwa no. 17815
Q: I receive a monthly stipend of (600) riyals from the school where I study. One of the conditions of receiving this assistance is that students live at least 15 kilometers away from the school. I used to receive this stipend when I lived more than 15 kilometers away, and Allah knows best. Now, I live 3 kilometers away from the school but I need this money badly to cover my needs. I go to school by car, so is it permissible to accept the monthly stipend?
A: If you do not meet the requirements qualifying you to receive this stipend, it is impermissible to accept it. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stated: Muslims should fulfill the conditions. Such deception is not permissible. May Allah grant us all success!
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
