Is it permissible for me to use my son’s disability allowance – which my son is not entitled to according to the new system, but is still being disbursed to him – to pay off fees and financial penalties imposed on me by the state, given my poverty and urgent need, and the hardship and disruption to my affairs that has resulted from non-payment? And can I continue to receive this allowance to settle all my financial obligations, including the Zakat due on fictitious commercial licenses?

This question has several aspects:

1. The old allowance: It is impermissible to take it because the son is not entitled to it. 2. The new allowance: It is permissible to take it if its conditions are met by the son. 3. Combining the two allowances: It is impermissible. 4. The father's need: If it reaches the level of necessity, he is permitted to take what suffices him from the first prohibited allowance. 5. The father spending from his son's money: There is no harm in it if he is in need and takes what suffices him without harming the son.
