If the grant is conditioned upon specific terms, it is not permissible to circumvent them by lying or similar means, due to the generality of the hadith: "Muslims are bound by their conditions in what is permissible." However, if the applicant or their family reaches a state of necessity such that they cannot find food or shelter except by taking this grant, then it is permissible for them to take it.
