What is the ruling on one who receives unemployment benefits but is then compelled to work because they are insufficient to support his family, and how would repentance be if receiving them were unlawful?

It is not permissible to take a grant for someone who does not deserve it. Whoever does so must return it and immediately stop participating in it, unless they explain their situation to the responsible authority and it approves.

Muslims must be a good example in fulfilling covenants and adhering to conditions.
