What is the ruling on receiving the accompanying stipend for a female scholarship student if the accompanying person does not reside with her in the country of study, and is it obligatory to inform the competent authorities of this?

The bonus granted to an escort depends on the conditions of the granting entity. If the entity stipulates the presence of an escort, then it is not permissible to resort to deception to receive it without one, and the granting entity must be informed of the escort's absence. However, if it is a grant that does not stipulate the escort's presence, there is no harm in taking it. The conditions for eligibility are determined by the granting entity, and the escort's financial status does not affect this.
