What is the ruling on the money an mother receives as a grant from the Social Cooperative Fund, and is her son's work in the same company permissible or forbidden?
The basic principle regarding horse racing is permissibility. Whenever the conditions and regulations for its permissibility are met, working in this field is allowed. However, if these conditions or some of them are absent, working in it is prohibited.
As for the grant allocated to the mother, if the fund is state-affiliated, and the state provides a salary to the wife and children after the employee's death in exchange for what it deducts from his salary, then there is no objection to receiving this salary.
However, if the fund belongs to a commercial insurance company, or to the public sector and operates under a commercial insurance system based on usury (riba) and uncertainty (), then what is permissible for the mother from it is only the amount that was deducted from her husband's salary. Anything beyond that is considered forbidden usury, unless it is donated by someone authorized to make such donations.
