Lying in order to obtain financial support from the government
Question:
“May Allah be good to you. The questioner says: What is the ruling regarding deceit and lies in order to obtain assistance which a non-Islamic country offers to the needy?”
Answer:
“Deceit and lies are not permissible at all. Not with the disbelievers nor with the Muslims. The human should not purposely deceive or lie in order to obtain one of the ephemeral things of this worldly life. He should rather be honest towards himself, towards the people and towards Allah (سبحانه وتعالى). Yes.”
