Is the money awarded by the court as compensation for a false accusation of theft permissible (halal)?

The harm resulting from a false accusation is moral, not financial. Compensation for moral harm is impermissible because it does not involve financial loss and cannot be quantified. Therefore, it is not permissible for someone falsely accused to accept financial compensation, though they have the right to demand that their innocence be publicly declared. However, if the judge rules in their favor for such compensation, there is no harm in accepting it, unless the recipient believes it to be forbidden. This matter is subject to scholarly disagreement.
