"It is permissible, Islamically, to accept aid from the Ministry for the guardians of students who have died or been injured in accidents. State aid in general is permissible to accept for those who meet the stipulated conditions. It is not permissible to resort to deception to obtain it for those who do not meet the conditions, as that involves lying and cheating."
