What is the ruling on using wheat flour designated for human consumption and subsidized by the state as animal feed, due to the inability to purchase feed specifically for animals?

If the state does not specify a certain quantity for purchase, then there is no harm in that. However, if it specifies a quantity and that is exceeded in any way, or if it does not specify a quantity but prohibits it, then it is not permissible. This is because subsidized funds are public funds belonging to Muslims, and the regulations set by the competent authorities must be adhered to.
