Is money earned and work in Sweden unlawful, after obtaining residency by claiming not to have relatives in Iraq, knowing that the reason for lying was to expedite obtaining residency after a long wait? And is it permissible to work as a lawyer in Sweden?

If the work is permissible and performed as required, there is no harm in it or in the salary received for it, and the residence dealings do not affect that. As for denying the existence of relatives, it is not permissible due to the lying and deception involved, and it has no relation to the issue of work and salary. One must seek forgiveness and repent from it. For details on the ruling concerning working in advocacy under man-made laws, refer to Fatwa (definition) No. 39156.
