What is the ruling on someone who registers as a displaced person to obtain humanitarian aid in Yemen, knowing that this aid is stolen and distributed to those who are not entitled to it, and that the one registering is in need of it?
Regarding matters of aid, one should refer to the donor; their conditions concerning the eligible recipients are considered valid and must be adhered to. If the committee overseeing the distribution is authorized to assess the eligible recipients, and the questioner informs them truthfully about their situation, then there is no harm in them benefiting from the aid. It is not permissible to deceive the donor, unless the necessity reaches a level where there is fear of perishing.
