Is it permissible to receive the entitlements of a fictitious name in training courses at a government institution, and what is the ruling on money acquired in this manner?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to violate the laws established by the state. What officials do by creating a fictitious name to deceive the state is not permissible, because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever cheats us is not of us." Money received for a permissible work that was performed as required is lawful money and does not need to be returned. However, one must refrain in the future from working under a fictitious name, due to the assistance it provides in cheating and deception.
