Is it permissible for me to apply for the Ministry of Housing lottery for an investment plot designated for villas using more than one name, and to pay a monetary amount to those who waive their right to it, knowing that most of those whose names I use are poor and would not benefit from the lottery on their own, and this opportunity would not deprive them of obtaining subsidized apartments, with my intention of acquiring one or two plots to improve my income?

It is permissible to waive the right to obtain the aforementioned housing, as it falls under the category of selling rights, and what is considered authoritative by us is the permissibility of selling rights. However, if the state or the land-owning entity stipulates that the applicant may not acquire more than one plot, or prohibits the sale of the right, then this condition must be adhered to.
