There's a question
that
can I take money from a non Muslim
government
that that that it gives towards citizen?
Yes.
If
there are there, you know, there are benefits
that are that are
rightfully due to someone
living in in a country, whether
because they're a citizen or
they're an immigrant there or they have
some kind of residency,
then if this is a,
you know, if this
is a benefit that you are rightfully,
that you are rightfully
eligible for, then you can partake of it.
What you cannot do is to lie, cheat,
or deceive. The believer
does not lie, cheat, or deceive.
Also
we strive
as believers
to not be dependent on others. It is
sunnah from the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. The
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
told us that it is better for us
to
seek
Whoever,
strives
to be free of need of others, Allah
will grant them
freedom of need from others.
So this is a meritorious
act that one
should strive to do. Right? To be of
those who
don't
have,
you know, neediness
to others. But if you're in a situation
where you need some kind of government benefit,
etcetera, then it is permissible for us as
believers
to partake of that.
