What is the ruling on my receiving two awards from two different Quran competitions if the award is due for a single portion (Juz')? And what is the ruling on the salary paid to me during a study leave in which I did not adhere to studying? And how can I return the money to the granting government entity after such a long time has passed?

If the prize is due for only one course, then the questioner is not entitled to more than one of the two prizes. What is taken without right must be returned to its owner. If it is impossible to return it, then it must be given as charity on his behalf. As for the second question, the ruling depends on whether the questioner fulfills the condition set by his workplace for paid study leave. If he fulfills it, he is entitled to the salary; otherwise, he is not. The questioner should consult his workplace to confirm.
